LECTURE NOTES AND E-BOOKS FOR SELF-STUDY
 Programming Notes
Digit Sum and Prime Numbers
Released OCT 2018
JavaScript tools that generate Smith numbers and Moran numbers as examples of two digital problems involving factorization and primality testing, respectively.
A Bisenary Number System
Released NOV 2013
A guided project to switch integer representations between base-10 and base-36 number systems. A JavaScript applet is provided for the conversion from decimal to bisenary.
