These are the Portable Document Format (PDF) files for "The Book of GENESIS". If your browser has a helper or plugin for viewing PDF files, you may read these chapters from these links. Otherwise, change into this directory (iBoGpdf) and use Acrobat Reader (acroread) or other PDF viewer to view the files. Acrobat Reader seems to do the best job of rendering the equations. If one of the equations doesn't look right, try zooming in on it.
