Update free-science-books.md, addition O'Haver #89

Closed nbehrnd closed 3 years ago

nbehrnd commented 3 years ago

Both introduction and reference about this topic, this compilation is illustrated by many hands-on examples and executable code (Matlab/Octave, Python, Excel, OpenOffice Calc) ready for application. When asked, Tom O'Haver provided permission for the addition to this directory.

What does this PR do?

Addition of a resource to English section QA/mathematics.

For resources

Since the project is ongoing, the addition is a link to the landing page of the project.

Description

It is both an introduction as well as a reference for signal processing, e.g., peak fit in spectroscopy as used in analytical chemistry.

Why is this valuable (or not)

The author describes theory, showcases examples, and shares executable code ready to go to tackle the problems.

How do we know it's really free?

The author was explicitly asked in advance and Tom O'Haver provided his permission by e-mail for inclusion in this directory today. Secondly, the website reads «Completely free since 1993».

For book lists, is it a book?

The content may be obtained as a printed book, too. But it would limit the benefit for the user if content only would read without running the code shared.
