A very rough draft

The link below will take you to the beginnings of the draft, please excuse any grammatical errors or highlighted notes to myself, this is indeed "very" rough draft. I'm posting it for backup reasons, since right now there is only one copy of the file on the computer I use, and I haven't made any printouts as of yet. Tomorrow I will be printing a first copy out and will revise from that; I revise much better on paper than I do on a computer screen. I posted the draft in *.htm format on Villanova University's server (my undergrad uni), since I still have access to webspace there being an alumni. The *.htm was hastily converted with Microsoft Word, so also please excuse any formatting mistakes that was made in the transition from a *.doc file to a *.htm file. Pictures have also been omitted, but most can be found in previous blog entries. The word count is also inaccurate. The first draft will be handed into the department office this coming Tuesday, and I have the last tutorial with my tutor the following week to discuss my work-in-progress. I will post the official draft in a few days time. Also, the symposium in conjunction with the MASS and MAFEM programs has been canceled, hence there will be no public presentation of the project; this makes the blog even more important as the disseration's only method of public availability.
