I'm doing some of your homework for you here, but I want you to be successful with J. You might take a look at these documents and see if any meet your needs (source: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Books): Easy J (index, examples, no exercises): http://www.jsoftware.com/books/pdf/easyj.pdf Exploring Math (index, examples, exercises): http://www.jsoftware.com/books/pdf/expmath.pdf Arithmetic (index, examples, exercises): http://www.jsoftware.com/books/pdf/arithmetic.pdf Math for the Layman [HTML only] (examples, exercises, no index): http://www.jsoftware.com/books/pdf/mftl.zip The latter three documents were written by Ken Iverson and were specifically designed for teaching/learning J. Regarding a "reference Bible" for J, that's what much of the recent discussion in the Programming Forum has been all about. It's currently in the planning and development stages.
