Please Note: It may not always be possible to include the necessary special characters, superscripts, subscripts, etc. in e-mail responses to this group of exercises. We suggest that you discuss this matter with your professor/class and decide upon a system for indicating such characters. You may cut/paste some characters and/or Greek letters from Microsoft Word, using the Insert menu. Alternatively, we suggest that you agree upon abbreviations for or spell out symbols, Greek letters, or characters and indicate superscripts and subscripts by using "sup", "sub", or up/down carats.
