A set of course notes will be provided.

In addition, it will be expected that students will consult the library and Internet (e.g. do a google search) in preparing their project.
 

Below I list some of the textbooks that I found useful in preparing this course.  Of course you do not need to purchase these texts, but should you decide to continue in this field it is likely that these books (or related ones) will be useful to you.  Thus you should know that such books exist!
