Publications of Ralph S. Freese


Getting the original journal article: Clicking the MRxxxxxx link takes you to the Math Review of the article. From there you can click the button (if it is not grayed out) and it will take you to the original journal article.
Since my papers often have saveral diagrams, PDF is the easiest way to get them.
See my page on Putting Mathematics on the Web for a (somewhat out-dated) comparison of methods of putting mathematics on the web.
For any of these paper you can ask to have a reprint sent to you by emailing me at ralph@math.hawaii.edu.
