I finished Volume I of Feynman’s Lectures in Physics today. Many chapters read the last two days - and I was careful to make sure I was understanding everything. I have also made good progress in Strang’s CALCULUS the last two days. My mind is working better. See:

There were some changes to the HostMonster setup for rails.
Try My Complex Number Calculator
The Real number Calculator is not fixed yet. I have not enough time right now.
Later the same night I noticed it was no longer working - I suspect because of a CPU quota - it is a intense CPU application.
I have password protected the application, due to the suspected CPU quota.
I will e-mail a password to anyone who requests one from me at dennis.darland@yahoo.com

For a while now, I have been trying to spend 15-30 minutes twice a day relaxing [yoga like - I remember a little of what I read about it in high school]. It seems to especially help my legs. Anyway, today, I found myself able to relax my legs while reading, and, thus, able to read more comfortably.

Strang, Gilbert - Linear Algebra and its applications
Pauling, Linus - General Chemistry
I am enjoying Strang’s book - CALCULUS - he motivates the math so well.
Pauling is a [deceased] honorary member of the Bertrand Russell Society.
I was looking for a book on general chemistry, so I got his when I saw it.

I’m reading Strang - CACULUS and Feynman, Leighton, Sands - The Feynman Lectures on Physics. I am making sure I understand every step of every argument. I can tell when understand - I think from my study of Philosophy for many years - especially, perhaps, of Russell and Wittgenstein. I am trying to read some in the above every day. I track my reading at my reading . Also, my understanding of other people [psychology?] seems improved as well - my mind seems sent back to high school, when I first started doing well academically, except with almost 40 years of extra data. Everything seems clear, as it did in high school, without the obsessive doubts I had in college! Why [am I improving - medicine or diet???] ???
