Download Chapter Materials
The source code downloads are compressed, TAR archives. Use "tar -zxvf (filename)" to unpack them on Linux/UNIX. On a Windows PC, use any of the popular Unzip packages, and on the Macintosh, use Stuffit Expander. Please read the file called MANIFEST to see what's included in each archive.
The PDFs are primarily intended for instructors using the text within a classroom setting. To view them, use 'xpdf' on Linux/UNIX, and Acrobat Reader on other platforms.
The LaTeX source files used to produce the PDFs are also available. Instructors are welcome to take the LaTeX files and amend them as they see fit. Please e-mail me to request a copy of any LaTeX file.
