Special Theory of Relativity: Two-body orbital problem.
Astronomy: Optical Astronomy; Celestial Mechanics.
Qualifications:
I have a Ph.D. in Physics from Macquarie University. Also, I have a Bachelor and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.
I am a member of the American Physical Society and of the American Association of Physics Teachers.
Research Proposal:
I am currently still actively involved in the following research project: (Copyright 1999, 2000 by Dale Alan Woodside, all rights reserved.) (Use: Shift-left-Mouse-button to download under Netscape.)

PostScript *.ps File Viewer:
If you don't have an application to read *.ps PostScript documents, you can get a nice pair of applications, Ghostscript and GSview, from the following website:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
You would need to get the latest version of both applications. The Ghostscript application is the PostScript interpreter which is called automatically by the viewer application GSview.
