chapter 3 companion and outline
This page contains companion resources and an outline for chapter 3 of the book An Introduction to Real-Time Computing for Mechanical Engineers, and it therefore lacks most of chapter 3’s contents. While some sections of the book are fully available on this site, many are not. Please consider purchasing a copy from the MIT Press.
