Information

  1. My Library

    I have cataloged my books (updated 1/19/2013). I have an reading_2014 of almost ALL of my books (Updated January 2014) entered! (the main exception being some software documentation(mostly obsolete, yet retained)). Also many of my e-books (mostly free) have not been entered. It indicates the books that I have read. (to the best of my memory). I have not included as read reference books, or books I have read only part of, although I did include those used as texts in courses, although we may not have covered the entire text. (Also, I have read many books I don't own, but I do, now, mostly buy them, because I read so slowly, and also I like to be able to look thing up again, that I have read in the past. Here is my wish list for books. Now (3/13/2013) I have decided to study the easier books on logic and philosophy of logic first.
    I have a fair idea of what is proven in the metalogical results and how they are proven.
    But the proofs are difficult for me, and complicated enough that I just cannot seem to maintain them in my memory.
    Thus I am going to focus on easier books on philosophy of logic and language first.
    NOTE (10/16/2014) I have discovered that I do better reading and re-reading repeatedly as far as remembering goes -
    rather than trying to remember by concentrating very hard while reading once.

    I don't read these as well as I should.
    I have a strong tendency to be more of a book reader.
    But I am expanding my interests and cannot go into the depth of reading books in all these areas.
    So I am going to be trying to read these more. (Starting 4/7/2013)
    It is to labor intensive to report what I get read here, so I am just indicating the publications I receive.

  9. High Priority Books that I am in the Process of Reading

    I don't seem able to read in one book very long at a time. So I jump between several books and gradually make progress. Updating this web page enforces my daily reading. When I get near the end of a book I sometimes am able to spurt to the finish! (12/2/2014) I am trying to narrow my focus.

    1. Reading the next 2 articles over and over until I master them!!! (Not the whole book at this point.)
      Having re-read only once, I understand much better - I see how my ideas would not make any difference.
      But I intend to study the subject more to get a better mastery - then perhaps go back to diffeq's or physics.
