620331 Reference Books

There are several reference books for this subject that previous lecturers have recommended. Copies of these will be placed on one-week loan. For your convenience, one relevant library and call number are given in each case. Note that for books where I list a holding in the Mathematical Sciences Library, there may be other holdings on campus, and in some cases there are a number of editions, and only the most recent is on limited loan.
