Miscellaneous Stuff
- A LaTeX presentation: This is a slide presentation I gave in the wavelets course I took in the fall of 2004. It uses a LaTeX class called Beamer. The topic was a proof that the Cesàro means of a function's Fourier series converge to the function almost everywhere, and its application to lemma in wavelets. The proof is not mine, just the presentation. The file is in .pdf format and runs best in it's own window, not inside of a browser.
Green's theorem notes: These are some notes on Green's theorem that I wrote up for a review session.
Statistics spreadsheets These are two spreadsheets I used in my statistics class this year. Both make use of scroll bars. The first displays the binomial histogram for user selected values of n and p. The second is a comparison of the normal approximation to the binomial with the exact answer. Click on either one to download the corresponding spreadsheet file.
Both of these make use of Excel's scroll bars. This is something I had seen a few times and had always liked, but I never bothered to figure it out until this fall. It's actually pretty simple, but a little odd. Pull down the view menu and select toolbars, and put a check by forms. This displays the forms toolbar. Click on the icon in the forms toolbar that looks like a scroll bar. Nothing much will happen. What you have to do is find an empty part of the spreadsheet, and click and drag with the mouse to make a box the size of the scroll bar you want. When you release the left mouse key, the scroll bar should show up in the box you just made. Now right click on the scroll bar and select Format Control. Under cell link, put the name of the cell you wish the scroll bar to affect, H4, for example.
