Technical Documents Library

This page gives the documents sorted by contributor. See the Concepts page for a list of documents sorted by concepts.

Note: for ease of cross referencing, the technical documents that form the CANTEACH library have been arbitrarily assigned an 8-digit reference number. First four digits denote the year of document creation, next two - sequential number, and the last two - section number. Example: 20030102 is the second part of document one of year 2003. Full revision and citation details are given in the document database. By default, the documents are provided in pdf format which will permit both on-line and off-line viewing and printing in a consistent, readable format. If the original document is required for subsequent re-sourcing, please contact CANTEACH Management.
