LvD - Englisch - Material

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This collection of material is basically for my pupils.
Partly written by myself, partly taken from other sources (books, homepages, ...) and adjusted to my purposes. Some of the adopted papers before July 2006 miss the sources, so use this material leniently, please.
