GENERALIZATIONS OF NATURAL
PHILOSOPHY • IT SERVES AS THE
GUIDING INSTRUMENT IN RESEARCHES
IN THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES AND
IN MEDICINE, AGRICULTURE, AND ENGINEERING •
IT IS AN INDISPENSABLE TOOL FOR THE ANALYSIS AND THE
INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BASIC DATA OBTAINED BY OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENT
Sorry, the work page has been temporarily removed, it is hopelessly un-updatable! I will employ the spare time at my disposal. I still have not uploaded the course notes.

    A poem
    "The professor went to the board one day
    And asked his class, just for the fun
    What is the only conceivable way
    To combine, e, i, π, zero, and one?

    A brilliant young scholar, he proved quite a hero
    Who knew the professor just loved to tease
    Replied: eiπ + 1 = 0
    Then he requested: the next question, please."     - Leonhard Euler (was paid $15)
