This collection of notes is intended to be used as a memo for myself after reading some books which I think deserve to be kept at hand.

It is public only because I think many people may find it useful as a summary or as a reading list to be considered, but, if you want to really learn about these topics, consider reading the linked books.

The content here is not intended to be used as an official reference.
