The Pleasures of Counting -- T. W. Korner (CUP) is great if you want a light read. If want to learn more (but enjoy the read less) try
Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering
-- Kenneth Franklin Riley, et al (also CUP.) It is known as Riley-Hobson-Bence and is very good.
We've had this rubbish over here in the UK with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers act (RIP-freedom-bill.)
All the standard George Orwell stuff is in it:-
Removal of the right to remain silent (10yrs)
Removal of the pretence of innocence until proven guilty (If I forget my PGP key I can go down for 10 years unless _I_ can prove I never had it)
Getting 10 years for telling anyone about being questioned (tipping off - 10years)
....the list goes on...
Perhaps they should make us all sign the Official Secrets Act at birth...
