If you forgot to pick up a problem set or handout,
retrieve it from the list below and print it out
if you have Netscape and its (free) Adobe Acrobat plug-in.
Let me know if you have difficulties with any PDF file.

Useful Mathematica Notebooks
Note: If you choose to use these Mathematica Notebooks as templates
for a solution you turn in, please observe the following rules:
- Remove my comments and section headings (and replace them with your own)
and be sure to put in a written explanation of what you are doing!
- Make sure that your Notebook runs correctly if saved and re-run
from scratch with Mathematica. (I've seen too many Notebooks consisting
of a random sequence of attempts to simplify expressions, with
non-reproducible results because competing variable definitions were
used at different times.)
- If you turn in a printout, make sure it is printed `2up', i.e., with
two logical Notebook pages per physical sheet. This is easy enough to
read without wasting paper.
These Notebooks will display as text files; you can save them as filename.nb
files and run them under Mathematica 4.x. If you only have access to
an earlier version, ask me for similar, older Notebooks.
