Course Books

Please note that books recommended here fall into two categories.

The core books are deemed essential to this course. Between them the whole syllabus is more than adequately covered.

However, for those wishing to find out further details about topics and also to obtain further points of view on various topics additional books are also supplied. Some of these may overlap with other third year courses also.

These books are chosen primarily due to their availability at our library here in Cardiff.

If anyone has further suggestions as to suitable reading material then we could get the library to order the books and I will add them to the list.

Also any pointers to similar and/or relevant work out there on the rest of the Web are most welcome
