* The items marked with an asterisk (*) above are Word or Excel documents with equations or symbols in them. Microsoft has the distressing habit of eliminating perfectly good font sets from their newer (but seldom improved) versions of Word and Excel, so some of the notation in these files may not print out on your computer. If something looks a little fishy, see me for corrections.
