This site exists primarily to provide the mathematics students of Dr. David Ritter at Florida International University with essential information and ancilliary class material. Consequently, it is a prickly, spare, and boring place to visit. Nonetheless, Dr. Ritter's students should take a little time to become familiar with the site. It is easy to navigate, and the pages that represent internal nodes are designed to load very quickly. With the exception of the internal links in the FAQ's page, you should expect to be able to back down the tree using your back button.
Before you climb very much further up this tree, be advised that aside from a few of the old course Game Rules and Homework Problems, which are html'ed ascii documents, most of the remaining leaves on the tree are files in the Adobe pdf format or graphics stored as very ugly jpg beasts, or gif's or ... . To view or print the mathematics noise encapsulated in the pdf files, you should have the ADOBE Reader, at least version 3. This format has been chosen due to its extreme portability and the fact that printing pdf's preserves pagination properly. [Shoot the alliterative so-and-so...] If you do not have the Reader installed, you can freely get it here.
Apprentice hackers who are feeling adventuresome may go get a recent copy of GhostScript and GSview to do the acrobatic stuff. They, of course, are required to find the goodies, and install and configure the varmints on their own.
