Thanks for all of the positive comments! That really helps my motivation to keep working on it.
Thanks also for the comments, criticisms, and nitpicks.

I'm using LyX, which is essentially a front end for LaTeX. I checked, and it appears that what you're seeing is not really a typo - it's an artifact of my limited LaTeX knowlege. What is happening is that the "Figure 5" link is actually pointing to the Figure 5 caption, rather than pointing to the top of the figure. My PDF viewer (and presumably yours, too) jumps so that the link target is at the top of the page. This makes good sense for sections, but it's bad for figures. In this case, it just happens that Equation 5 is right in the middle of the page below Figure 5. I'm sure a LaTeX wizard would know how to fix it...

I'll have to ask 1519's webmaster if they'd like to do that... *shouts across the house*. Actually, I'm putting it under a
