Different individuals use different symbols for the material covered in this book. For one of the most important equations, some like to use V = U + P while others prefer L′ = L + F.  

This book contains two versions of the same material. The version is shown on the bottom of every page:  
The first ten chapters use V = U + P  
The last ten chapters use L′ = L + F
