Many of the documents distributed here were produced with with the program latex2html. This program translates a LaTeX document into an HTML document. It creates GIF images of the math symbols which cannot be created with plain HTML and so these files are very "graphics intensive". For this reason, we do not recommend these pages for people with text based browsers (such as Lynx) or people who are using a slow modem. We do recommend the use of the browser Netscape so that you can read the pages while they are loading.
Some browsers, such as Mosaic, may require a separate program to open
some of the GIF illustrations which are distributed here. The GIF
images here make use of the GIF89 standards and include "transparency"
and "interleaving" effects. You should have no problems even if your
browser or GIF viewer does not support these features.
Movies:The movies distributed on these pages are all in the Quicktime format. You will need a separate program to view them since no browsers currently display movies on their own. (At least, none that I know of.) You can find information about how to get a Quicktime viewer for your computer here . Most of these movies display some repeating periodic process, such as iteration in a period n bulb of the Mandelbrot set. To experience these movies properly, your viewer must be set to repeat. On most Quicktime viewers, this is either an option (e.g. "loop movie") or a button which looks like a bent arrow pointing at itself.
