jhasbun@westga.edu
These java applications perform the same calculations as the text's Matlab scripts do. These are provided  to enable users to do the text's computations in case Matlab is not available. Clicking any of the htm files, will load the jar file and allow the application to run after one more click at the appearing application botton. Be sure your computer is java enabled to run the application. See other notes at the end of this file.
