Bill's comments on this segment
Well, I do sound nervous! This was one of my first webcasts. The production values get a little better with later segments. However, the material here is important, so be sure you understand it before going on.
Here is a link to the paper by R.T. Cox, discussed on slide 2. It's surprisingly readable for something so fundamental.
