Everything on this page is supplemental to my teaching and represents a concise, one-page version of a lot of my concepts.  Feel free to take and adapt it as you see fit.  The information here is mostly not original, but is organized and applied in a way that makes the most sense to me for my teaching.  I am greatly indebted to all my teachers and colleagues for sharing these ideas with me.
