Supplemental resources

Although this book presents the material very well, learners often benefit from seeing the same topics discussed from a different perspective. To that end, I've compiled a curated list of supplementary resources that may prove to be beneficial. These resources can be found here:

Supplemental exercises

To supplement the exercises in the book, I've compiled a list of exercises that cover the same content as the book. These exercises can be found here:
