My Nerd-Books

As I am sitting at computer in my office, I cannot help but to look at the books that are sitting on my corner computer desk, just waiting for me to dive into them. The only problem is, I am not sure which subject I want to study first. I have an interest in all of the subjects — otherwise I would not have gotten the books. Here is what I am considering:

  1. Math Books
    • Introduction to Topology
    • Algebraic Structures
    • The Theory of Groups
  2. Robotics Books
    • Robot Builder’s Bonanza
    • Build Your Own Robot!
    • Sensors for Mobile Robots
  3. Computer Science Books
    • The Art of Computer Programming: Funamental Algorithms
    • Lisp In Small Pieces (coming soon)
    • Essentials of Programming Languages (coming soon)
  4. Any of my electronics books (at work)

I picked most of these up when I found them on sale at Barnes and Noble. To be honest, I will probably start in on EoPL or LiSP when they come in — I have been fairly excited about getting them. However, I have really started to notice how many of my E.E. skills have fallen off through disuse, so I may start up a side project to try and brush up on Basic Circuit Analysis and Electronic Circuit Analysis before I try to move into teaching myself anything new (in the field that I just received a Master’s degree in… and I need to brush up on the basics).

– Disclaimer –

These are not the only books that I read, in case anyone gets too worried about me. I do read novels (in the middle of one now) and other non-fiction books beside nerd-books.

    This is good to know that you do read other things as well! Of course you know that I read a wide variety of material, too. Your father has just gotten around 10 new history books and I am sure that he would be happy to loan you some so that you can expand your horizons!
    When am I going to get that robot that will do all of my housework for me?
