Important – Read Before Using Slides in Class

Instructor: This PowerPoint presentation contains photos and figures from the text, as well as selected animations and videos. For animations and videos to run properly, we recommend that you run this PowerPoint presentation from the PowerLecture disc inserted in your computer. Also, for the mathematical symbols to display properly, you must install the supplied font called “Symb_chm,” supplied as a cross-platform TrueType font in the “Font_for_Lectures” folder in the "Media" folder on this disc.

If you prefer to customize the presentation or run it without the PowerLecture disc inserted, the animations and videos will only run properly if you also copy the associated animation and video files for each chapter onto your computer. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the disc drive directory containing the PowerLecture disc, and then to the “Media” folder, and then to the

“PowerPoint_Lectures” folder. 2. In the “PowerPoint_Lectures” folder, copy the entire chapter

folder to your computer. Chapter folders are named “chapter1”, “chapter2”, etc. Each chapter folder contains the PowerPoint Lecture file as well as the animation and video files.

For assistance with installing the fonts or copying the animations and video files, please visit our Technical Support at http://academic.cengage.com/support or call (800) 423-0563. Thank you.
