Books

Click on a book below (or use the menu) for more information on each one. A common theme in all of the books (except the 7th one!) is the large number of worked-out problems/examples. 

Note: The (very inexpensive) KINDLE VERSIONS of the 1st through 4th books are PRINT REPLICA, which maintains the formatting. The pages look exactly the same as the paperback pages; the files are essentially pdfs in kindle form. You can read them on your computer with the free kindle app (but strangely the files might not be compatible with actual kindle readers).
