Three-Year Schedule
For students needing longer with each concept, here is a three-year schedule that shows you how to complete both books in 3 years.
Binary and Hexadecimal Notes

Abacus

I also purchased the e-course which has a video for each of the lessons, which we found very helpful. You will also find a few corrections and additional resources here. […]
