  Remarks on Notes:
  
  These notes were developed to supplement the Clayton and Hills chapter, which was aimed at epidemiologists, and which does not give the derivations (the 'wiring' and 'theory') below the results (the user's view of the car).
  
  It is important to read C&H first, before JH's notes.
