Selected Bibliography

This is a selection of material that I have found useful. These references and ciations to these papers are a useful web of material. The ADS provides a link to both citations and references. I encourage you to browse the citation links since these will show recent related papers.

Wikipedia is a good place too: e.g. Normal Distribution
