NOTES

File Names
The files are simply identified by chapter. Thus, chap02.nb is the notebook containing the solutions to chapter 2. All Mathematica files are appended with "nb".

Split files
Sometimes it has been necessary, or convenient, to split the solutions into two files because of memory problems. These are identified by a and b. The effected files are shown as follows, with an indication of the questions included.

Chap04a	Questions 1-8	Chap10a	Questions 1-5
Chap04b	Questions 9-15	Chap10b	Questions 6-15
Chap05a	Questions 1-7	Chap14a	Questions 1-11
Chap05b	Questions 8-15	Chap14b	Questions 12-15

Splitting your own files
A number of chapter solutions are large files. If your memory is limited, it will not be possible to run the whole chapter. In this instance, load the file (but do not evaluate), and then split the file into two or more files by deleting whole sets of questions. Highlighting the outer right-hand bracket and deleting can do this.
	In making up the separate files, however, it is necessary to ensure that each sub-file contains the supplementary packages that need to be loaded. The following lists the supplementary packages used in each chapter.

Chapter	Supplementary packages
2	None
3	Needs["DiscreteMath`RSolve`"]
	Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"]
4	Needs["Graphics`PlotField`"]
5	Needs["DiscreteMath`RSolve`"]
	Needs["Graphics`Graphics3D`"]
	Needs["Graphics`PlotField3D`"]
6	Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"]
7	Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"]
8	Needs["DiscreteMath`RSolve`"]
9	Needs["DiscreteMath`RSolve`"]
	Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"]
	Needs["Graphics`Graphics3D`"]
	Needs["Graphics`PlotField`"]
10	Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"]
	Needs["Graphics`Legend`"]
11	Needs["Graphics`PlotField`"]
12	Needs["DiscreteMath`RSolve`"]
	Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"]
	Needs["Graphics`Legend`"]
13	None
14	Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"]
	Needs["Graphics`Legend`"]
	Needs["Graphics`PlotField`"]
15	Needs["Graphics`PlotField`"]

TableForm
The computations produced in TableForm can often be produced more readily in a spreadsheet and then loaded into Mathematica, especially if there are many periods. Make sure you save only the data and not the whole spreadsheet. The data should be saved as "*.txt". the procedure to follow is:

(1) Create the data in a spreadsheet and save as a text file. Do not include any headings. Suppose the text file is called "chap08q06.txt". Place the text file in the subdirectory of your choice. For example, my file is in the following subdirectory:
E:\EconDynamics 2nd ed Manuals\Mathematica 4\Notebooks

(2) When reading in the file, Mathematica requires to know the precise location of the file. It also needs instructions about how to read the file. The instruction in the text is as follows:

dataqu06=
	ReadList["e:\EconDynamics 2nd ed Manuals\
	Mathematica 4\Notebooks\chap08q06.txt",
	Number, RecordLists->True];

There are two data files located in the same folder for handling questions 6 and 7 of chapter 8. You will need to change the above instruction line to conform to your names and file locations.
