The following textbooks
represent the wish list of the Actuarial Science Department at Blantyre
International University. Ten, fifty, and sometimes two hundred students share
the one or two copies of a course's textbook that are kept in the university library.
Students usually do not have access or funds to purchase their own textbooks
for their university classes.
At the moment, because
this project is in its infancy, I am asking for donations of only textbooks (or
any newer editions of these textbooks) on the Wish Lists.
