Your link doesn't work, it's the way you've wrote it or something, for other people here it is: http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~wtg10/mathsindex.html

Oh and thanks, looks interesting, I might give it a read.
 
Ah!

cheers for writing it out - and the stuff is really good.

A space after the equals sign was the culprit. Thanks for the link. PF has a link section in menu @ top of each page- you could also add it there.
 
sorry - bit of a NOOB - what is pf?

PF = Physics Forums, the place you're at right now. :)

Welcome to PF!
 
Yey! abbreviations! they're all greek to me !
