Oops, sorry, I picked the name from the post I was replying

FP generally is math oriented, all the Haskell books I've
seen are the same. In fact the reason I chose mine was
because it seemed the least math oriented, but in practice,
because I'm not much into graphics, I spent a lot of time
trying to think how to apply the principles elsewhere...

I'll have a look for your one.
