Math 340, Spring 1995

I will be substituting for Ed Curtis for a few lectures beginning April 17. I will maintain a file of frequently asked questions (FAQ) (dvi) that can been read at any time. I will also include in this file copies of announcements, due dates for exercises and test dates.

Some of you are having trouble viewing the files. Here are some tips that I stole from Dave Collingwood to help you out.

If you click on a "postscript" or "dvi" file format, you will need a special viewer. In the case of a postscript file, you will use something called "ghostview"; in the case of a dvi file, you use something called "xdvi". Both are supported on any Unix account on the machine ``stein''.

If you are on an X-term and click on an item which is indicated to be a "...dvi file" or "...postscript file" you will need to do a little extra work to view it. I will illustrate how to proceed by way of two examples:

• Click on "solutions (ps)" in item 8. A window will popup on your terminal asking you if you want to save this file to your account; it will specify a default filename (in this case, "solIV.ps"). Click "OK" in the window. Depending on the file size, it takes a few seconds for this to load. You can see if you have it in your account by typing ls[return] in the "X-terminal window"; you should see the file "solIV.ps" listed. Now type ghostview solIV.ps[return]. It will take a few seconds, then you will see the solutions to problem set IV. You can then view or print following the menu items (and rules about printing at your user site).
• Click on "Homework (dvi)". Again, a window will pop up asking if you want to save this file to your account (as "hw.dvi"). Click "OK", then type xdvi hw.dvi[return]. This will display the file, which you can then view or print following the menu items (and rules about printing at your user site).
