Synopsis

Unlock the mathematical muscle of C and drive your firmware straight to the performance edge.

From deterministic two’s-complement arithmetic to cache-tuned FFTs, this definitive guide arms you with the numerical firepower demanded by modern microcontrollers, DSP cores, and safety-critical systems.

Inside, you will:

• Unravel endian mysteries, structure padding, and bit-field packing for bullet-proof memory control
• Replace floating-point cycles with fixed-point speed—complete with auto-scaling strategies and saturation math
• Turbo-charge loops using branchless tricks, lookup-table compression, and compile-time metaprogramming
• Implement FIR/IIR filters, Goertzel tone detectors, radix-2 FFTs, and phase-locked loops in compact C kernels
• Design digital PID controllers, Kalman filters, and quaternion orientation math for robotics and IoT devices
• Harden data paths with CRCs, Reed–Solomon, and lightweight block ciphers optimized for tiny footprints
• Prove your algorithms with numerical stability analyses, overflow guards, and formal assertion checks

Whether you craft bare-metal drivers, real-time audio pipelines, or aerospace guidance firmware, this powerhouse reference shows you how to fuse computer science with engineering mathematics—directly at the register level—using portable, standard C. Benchmarks take a back seat to rock-solid theory, precision, and maintainability, ensuring your code ships fast and lasts forever.

Stop porting bloated libraries. Start engineering crystal-clear, cycle-tight solutions that fit in kilobytes and run in nanoseconds.
