The Scientific Notebook
Some older projects on this site require the Scientific Notebook. You can also view the files with the Scientific Workplace. You can download viewer software that will allow you to view Scientific Notebook files online. There is no charge for the viewer. You can also download a time-locked, 30-day free trial sample of the Scientific Notebook. There is no charge for the first 30 days, but the software will no longer function beyond the 30-day time limit. You can purchase the software for an unbelievable academic price of $99.
