To view and print this lecture, figures included, on the PC's in Room 320,
follow these instructions:
1. Bring up the file f09-4-1.wmf,
and choose File, Save As, Save (Alt-F, A, Alt-S),
2. Come back to this file and click here.
See below for generic instructions.
Most lecture notes were created in LaTeX using Scientific Workplace 2.5
(SWP25) and not converted to HTML. You can view them using SWP25 (strongly
recommended) or with another TeX previewer and you can get the high quality
TeX printout as in this example:
In the directory .../742/notes/lect02 you will find lect02.tex, lect02.dvi,
lect02.ps, and some auxiliary files. If you have Scientific Work Place,
just use it on lect02.tex (see Hints below). Otherwise ...
If your system is properly set up, you can view lect02.dvi and print it,
or you can directly print lect02.ps; this should work (using GhostView)
on the PC's and Macs in Room 220 (unless they have been reset). Or you can
transfer either file to your system and play with it.
The file lect02.tex is the LaTeX source file, out of which the others
were created. In order to use it, you really need Scientific Work Place.
If you know about TeX, you can modify it for some other TeX processor,
but this is seldom worth the trouble. However, in some cases I have made
the conversion to a generic LaTeX format myself, as indicated in a comment
at the top of the file, and then any Latex processor is likely to work.
Good luck.
Hint on viewing:
What Netscape does with a file depends on the choices made under
Options, Preferences.
A good way is to associate the .tex extension with Scientific WorkPlace
(if present), so that you can directly get the same view of the file as in
class. The PC's in Physics 220 are set up this way.
Another way is to associate the .tex extension with Notepad
(on a PC) so that lect02.tex can be viewed as a text file, modified
for your TeX processor if needed, and saved to disk for processing.
It is also possible to make Netscape transfer the .tex file to disk
directly.
The printout off the www screen is generally good if there is no math. Math shows fairly well if you use Netscape, may give trouble using Mosaic. A PC prints math better than a Mac (choose Black and White Images on a Mac, or you will get no math). I got the best results from the PC's in Room 220, Physics Building, by setting the print quality to Medium and the image quality also to Medium (in the Options menu).
