Books
I have written several books and teaching materials on
developing computer software, in particular provably correct software.
For further information on these books and materials, see http://Baber.servehttp.com/Books/Books.html. The books can be downloaded from there.
In addition, I have written a book on mathematical notation viewed as a language, The Language of Mathematics: Utilizing Math in Practice, see http://Language-of-Mathematics.eu.
I am also in the early stages of planning other books.
