Knowledge is possessed only by sharing it.
There is no happiness without intelligent effort.

Printing problems? A color printer is preferred. If a figure is partially printed, click the right mouse button, choose "view Image," and then print it.

Viewing Problems? Internet Exporer is the preferred browser. If you do not see subscripts (e.g., in K₁, 1 should be seen as a subscript), update your viewer. Otherwise, the notes will be very confusing. Either Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer will do).
