Classical Mechanics Notes
These are Dr J Paton's handwritten notes, typed out in LyX to give LaTeX output.
- PDF only
- Source (includes LyX and LaTeX files, and images (SVG sources and EPS files - the SVGs need the FreeSerif font installed). In addition to common LaTeX packages, you'll need the boldtensors and hhtensor packages; both are in the standard MiKTeX repositories)
If you find any typos, please email me and let me know; I'll correct and re-upload.

Custom Keyboard Layout
This is a modified version of the UK English keyboard layout for Microsoft Windows, adding many useful physics and maths symbols. I use it for input in Word. It currently does not work with LaTeX or LyX, and only partially works with MathType. Unshifted and shifted keys are the same as the UK layout; the additional characters make use of the AltGr key (to the right of the spacebar) and the Shift+AltGr combination, which give almost twice as many character positions as are available as standard.
- Installer - for the layout files (includes files for x86, x64, and IA64 - not that anyone uses IA64, but MSKLC generates it)
- Source file - should you wish to edit the layout yourself (for instance, if German doesn't interest you, you could gain an extra 7 character positions to replace with characters you're more interested in. Have a look in the Character Map)
- Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator - allows opening of the source file or creation of your own custom layout (requires the .NET framework; either 2.0 or 1.0/1.1, depending on the version downloaded)
