Useful Mathematica Notebooks

• 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.
