Software for displaying pages

Some material at this web site and at sites we point to is not in HTML or ascii form. In particular, some items are postscript, pdf, Mathematica,  and dvi. You may need software to properly read these files.

Adobe Acrobat

If you don't have pdf display software, click here to get information about downloading a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Postscript and Ghostview

Mathematica

Some files are Mathematics 3.0 notebooks. Those with .ps (.pdf) extensions are postscript (pdf) files of the printed file. If you have Mathematica, you will also be able to access the Mathematica program files which have the .nb extension. Mathreader is a program which will allow you to read .nb files even if you don't have Mathematica; click here to get a free copy of Mathreader.

Contributions Welcomed

I welcome suggestions and contributions.  In particular, if you have or know of some useful code, tell me so that I can add a pointer.
