• Help on "symbolic notation" (SN) problems:
• It seems that some browsers do not properly display the boxes and graphics needed to enter the answer. For Linux/Unix users, you can use Seamonkey
  
• As an example, if you want to enter d/(2 v), you need first to select  the "fraction" sign (two boxes one above the other), then place "d" in the box above, and "2*v" in the box below.
