Really great - thanks a billion Jason for doing this. I think math+calc students will find this useful.
I did a bit of fiddling before getting to register (I agree with Harold that the procedure is slightly non-standard). My only minor complaint is that for such a site, I usually see in the upper RH corner an indication that I am logged in (eg, my login and a logout link). Still, great and *many* thanks.
