Me In Yakuta
Rich Coco
I remain a committed Mathophile, thoroughly radicalized by the genius of Évariste Galois and the beauty of the profound theory whose development he initiated: Galois Theory. Sadly, Galois died prematurely at the age of 20 in 1832, the result of a tragic and senseless  duel.
A toast and a tribute to the young Galois...

Thank you for visiting.

Within this site you will have a chance to view and purchase selected media. Among these are my own publications and other generally hard to find textbooks. The emphasis is very much on the sciences; in particular, Mathematics and Physics. But there is also a diverse selection that will grow over time as this site matures.

My Monographs

These mathematical monographs target curious high school students and recreational math enthusiasts. My purpose in writing them is to introduce topics not encountered in a standard high school mathematics curriculum, thereby exposing the interested student to a wider range of topics that will hopefully expose hitherto unknown and under appreciated depth to the subject of mathematics. Although, by necessity, there is some exposition there is also presented in these volumes a very generous amount of accessible and honest-to-god mathematical meat (calculations and theory). I do not believe it will disappoint. It is hoped it will inspire.

When you drill into a monograph selection (via the "Read More" button) additional detail about the monograph will be presented. An option to "Look Inside" will also be available. Selecting this option will pop-up a PDF view of the Preface and Table of Contents. Finally, one may chose to purchase a print copy (an 8"x11" softcover book printed on high quality high-gloss paper) or a downloadable PDF version.

I want to do something splendid… Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead… I think I shall write books.
