For the Novice Acrobat User or the Forgetful

When you opened this file you should have seen a slightly modified cover of the book Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers by Donald A. McQuarrie, a menu bar at the top, some index markers at the left hand margin, and a scroll bar at the right margin.

Select the View menu item in the top menu and be sure Fit in Window and Single Page are selected. Select the Window menu item and be sure Bookmarks and Thumbnails ARE NOT selected.

You can and probably should make the top menu bar disappear by pressing the function key F9. Pressing this key (F9) again just toggles the menu bar back on. You may see another tool bar that is controlled by function key F8. Press function key F8 until the tool bar disappears. In the upper right hand corner margin of the window containing this text you should see a few small boxes. DO NOT move your mouse to the box on the extreme right and click in it; your window will disappear! Move your mouse to the second box from the right and click (or left click); the window containing this text should enlarge to fill the screen. Clicking again in this box will shrink the window; clicking again will return the display to full screen. The prefered means of navigation to any desired figure is controlled by the scroll bar in the column at the extreme right of the screen image. Move your mouse over the scroll bar slider, click, and hold the mouse button down. A small window will appear with the text "README (2 of 14)". Continuing to hold down the mouse button and dragging the button down will change the text in the small window to something like "16.30 (6 of 14)". Releasing the mouse button at this point moves you to Figure 16.30 of Chapter 16. The (6 of 14) indicates that Figure 16.30 resides on page 6 of the 14 pages of this document. ANIMATIONS Figures 16.30, 16.32, 16.34, and 16.35 each has an associated animation that requires QuickTime for display. The names of the animation files are Anim16_30.mov, Anim16_32.mov, Anim16_34.mov, and Anim16_35.mov, respectively. Each of the animations must be independently downloaded from the server.
