A word of encouragement: The author of the article is doing a better job of explaining a somewhat tricky subject than is usual - rather than simply displaying erudition, as some authors do, he/she seems to be genuinely aware of the pitfalls that can trap (and even dishearten) the interested but non-expert reader; if the Wikipedia is to be useful, it is to this level that I believe it should be targetted. Thanks. PGE.

Since I'm still quite a wiki-neophyte, there are some editing details that need attention
* The citation mechanism I'm using is ad hoc, created merely to enter the data. What is needed is a footnote placing the data at the end of the article, with a numbered link in situ. I don't know how to do this.
* As things progress, the addition of several figures would be illuminating. I don't know how to make or insert such graphics.
* The math mode creates very awkward font size changes. My predisposition thus far is to make it look right in an ad hoc way. This will become increasingly burdensome as things progress. On the other hand, the formatting choices of the math system are usually positively repulsive aesthetically.
I trust there are more experienced individuals who can help with this. Thus far, I've mostly simply imitated notation existing in the page, and gleaned a few techniques from the "cheat" link on the edit help page. Therefore, if someone would fix a citation, I can figure out what needs to be done with the rest of them.
