SELF-PUBLISHED
When I retired in 2023, I had several manuscripts, some not yet submitted, and some that had been sent to journals, that I had hoped to see through to publication. However, my interests have begun to change. But, instead of leaving these tax-payer-funded manuscripts to languish in my laptop, I feel that I should share them. I do so, here. They are 'as is'. For the ones that I had already submitted, I include any editorial feedback I received. You are free to use them for teaching or other purposes. By all means, follow up on any ideas you find worth pursuing, and/or contact me about them.
