Why Rhea?
Rhea is set up in the wiki format, which allows for editing pages for any user.
In general, the goal of Rhea is to be a source of information. Different users may understand different things. Anyone can edit the pages, so it can be a community effort to help build the pages. The structure of wiki is meant to be flexible, and thus Rhea is here to be whatever the users want. The most clear use for pages is to answer questions other users have, but they could be anything.
Rhea is available where ever internet access is available, and one can check for new pages by going to Special:Recent Changes_MA375Fall2008walther or by clicking links from the front page. Math text can be entered by using the <math> </math> commands. See below for more information.
