Mostly, they are and mostly, we don’t. But our bodies are not normal. The Afghans’ bodies are normal. We are so commonly ill we take it to be normal.

"Just the Maths" by AJ Hobson

nestor2.coventry.ac.uk

"Just the Maths" is a collection of separate units, in chronological topic-order, intended to service foundation level and first year degree level courses in higher education, especially those delivered in a modular style. Each unit represents, on average, the work to be covered in a typical two-hour session consisting of a lecture and a tutorial. However, since each unit attempts to deal with self-contained and, where possible, independent topics, it may sometimes require either more than or less than two hours spent on it.
