I know that writing a book is a huge undertaking – yes, I too have done it. Two separate Editions of “The 3-D Global Spatial Data Model” are in the EMU library. As a side note, after I retired from teaching in 2010, I audited 6 different courses in the Computer Science Dept. The text book for one of them was 4th Edition of “Discrete Mathematics with Applications” by Susanna S. Epp. Good “stuff” and essential for spatial data applications. My traditional engineering education relied heavily on geometry and calculus. That is great but, this point could be argued, matrices and discrete math currently eclipse that priority.
