Below is the working Table of Contents for MathForLife.
Subsection headings are provided only for the online sample chapter
Time is money
which is in fairly final form. I expect that as the other chapters
are completed and linked into the remainder of the book
there will be some changes to at the section level as well.
The entries in this table of contents do not currently
link to online documents. This is simply a precaution to ensure that
visitors to the online samples pass through the
sample chapter
page which explains the software prerequisites for viewing the
samples. The sample chapter includes a table of contents
which both links to all sections in the chapter and
is accessible from any page in the sample site.
