My use of the word Bible is, like a lot of other things in this book done with tongue in cheek. The word is Greek in origin, τὰ βιβλία, and translates literally as nothing more special than “the books.” For those with tender religious sensibilities, I don’t present The Pilot Math Bible as anything more than a collection of books, in the most fundamental sense of the word.
