A personal work log written by Phil (initialed PhL, dated 3.26.05 in the header) that summarizes what he studied or wrote each month. It tracks textbooks worked through, such as Watson, Levitt, Goldstein, Schiff, Bjorken-Drell, Stakgold, Lai and Buck. It also records his own documents on the toroidal bowl, tensors, frames, Galois theory, lines and wedges, plus life interruptions.
