Essential Group Theory
Essential Group Theory is an undergraduate mathematics text book introducing the theory of groups. It has been aimed primarily at mathematics students but those studying related disciplines such as computer science or physics should also find it useful. The first part summarizes the important points which will be found in most first undergraduate courses in group theory in brief concise chapters.The second part of the book forms an introduction to presentations of groups.

An introduction to the theory of complex variables
By: R.S. Johnson
The theory of complex variables is significant in pure mathematics, and the basis for important applications in applied mathematics (e.g. fluids). This text provides an introduction to the ideas that are met at university: complex functions, differentiability, integration theorems, with applications to real integrals. Applications to applied mathematics are omitted, although Fourier transforms are...
SQL: A Comparative Survey
By: Hugh Darwen
SQL: A Comparative Survey is a companion to Hugh Darwen’s An Introduction to Relational Database Theory, best studied in parallel with that text. Closely following the structure of the theory book, it shows how the examples in that book can be expressed in SQL. SQL’s many deviations from relational database theory are thus exposed and their consequences discussed. Drawing on the author’s ...
