Welcome all . . .

I'm hopeful that this blog will be useful to the readers of "Deterministic Uncertainties." Each section, starting with the preface, will have its own main posting where I welcome your thoughtful comments, especially if they relate to making the material more understandable.

Please register -- although it's not required -- so that we all know who's saying what. Just click on the "comments" link below to start the process.

Sincerely, Ron Bannon

Preface

This companion blog is dedicated to helping you though the book's material while encouraging you to participate in a community-based learning experience. You'll be able to interact with other readers and download supplemental material, including solutions to all problems (pdf format) and source code (text files) for the programs.

And please, I encourage everyone to visit this blog often or to email me with specific questions related to the book.

Sincerely,

Ron Bannon

Chapter 1: Truth

I will need to put something brief here. The general format will be a short introductory statement along with supplementary files (including errata). Most important, is that the reader will be able to post comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each section. I will be emailed the comment and I can easily respond, but others can too. It should be interesting to see what happens.
Related Files: If you have problems with reading any of these files, you can email me a short description of your troubles and I will try to help. If you have problems compiling the source code you may have to 'tweak' the code slightly depending on your OS of choice. You can also post questions, and others (myself include) may help with your coding questions.
