Then there is no reason to expect you have access to any other page
you asked me for is there?

Of course there is, Richard. I just bought a new Harley Road King Classic
and relish any reason to ride it over to the Texas A&M library.

Fine, you can start with the illustration offered on the page facing
your referenced equation. You may notice no one here is willing to
give you any help. They act like this is minefield where any mis-step
will make them an amputee candidate in the theory ward.

it magically exhibits no loss, no gain, no reflection, total

I agree with you on that point. But there seems to be little
choice except the above due to measurement problems.

Measurement problems are in direct proportion for those that try to
first calibrate the bone density between their ears. The difficult
part is using simple calipers and a common ruler.

For newcomers it is easily within their skill. Two resistors, a hank
of transmission line, less than an hour's effort and they are done
with unambiguous results. Clearly many, older and slower "students"
here prefer the comfort of ambiguity that so mimics their conditions
of mental constipation.


Such is the kulture of Institutionalized Ignorance that exists.

I tend to agree but the ignorance is caused by the difficulty in making
meaningful measurements. It's like, "Prove that God doesn't exist."

Cecil,

You stand head and shoulders above that crowd of midgets. Hit the
road and prove you can find that page's illustration and I might
suggest several more. Post your query (with proof of reading) from
the student union computers and I will fulfill that offer to save you
time; otherwise find yourself some hog babe along the way, follow the
road out of Texas and enjoy life instead. Choices, choices,
choices....
