Excerpt:
The PRIME encyclopedia is designed to be browsed alphabetically. To begin, type up to six characters in the box at left and click “GO.” For example, to find the listing for “vector space” you would type “vector” in the box and then click the button. Use the “back/forth” buttons to move back and forth from your current location in the encyclopedia.
If a listing includes an ARTICLE tag, clicking the tag will take you to an extended article for that listing.
To reduce the number of listings displayed, deselect one or more boxes under “INCLUDE TOPICS.” By default, every box is preselected.
Almost every listing will contain links to other listings, and these will appear in blue. Clicking an internal link will move you to the corresponding listing in the encyclopedia. If the linked listing falls under a currently deselected topic, that topic will become selected when subsequent pages are displayed.
