This page is under heavy construction. Broken links, especially in subfiles, surely abound. The text is incomplete, a work in progress. As of fall 2008 many of the pages are in XHTML5 + SVG + MathMl and can be rendered only by browsers able to handle these XML languages such as FireFox 3 or Opera 9.52 with the STIX font. Links should NOT be made to files in this folder - the file names are subject to change. This index page will remain in place for the life of the folder.

Fall 2008: An increasing number of files are in XHTML5 + SVG + MathMl format. These files can be rendered by Gecko and Webkit based browsers. Other files are in OpenDocument formats and were created using OpenOffice.org. A few are Gnuplot plot files. Other formats such as Excel and portable network graphic files are present as well.
