One of my major projects for the break between spring and summer quarters is to fix the tutorials' section. They are in desperate need of recoding, removing popup windows, etc. I plan on introducing the proper display of math equations instead of using gif images like I used to do.

So I played around a few days ago and uploaded the MathJax JavaScript software. You can see the sample page here to get an idea of what I’m planning for the display of mathematical formulae in sections like the dimensional analysis tutorial.

I adjusted the periodic table quiz so it will now allow you to request a new quiz from the popup window rather than having to switch back to the main page and request it. This was done for Internet Explorer years ago because it would crash not only the browser but the operating system. Microsoft fixed the bug some time ago but I had forgotten all about it until a student asked about it.

Fixed!
