% \section{Introduction}
%   The \flashcards\ class provides for the typesetting of flash
%   cards in \LaTeXe.  By flash card, I mean a two sided card which
%   has a prompt or a question on one side and the response or the
%   answer on the flip (back) side.  Flash cards come in many sizes
%   depending on the nature of the information they contain. In
%   particular, I like using both $3 \times 5''$ (index cards) and
%   $2 \times 3\frac{1}{2}''$ (business cards) which are available
%   in perforated sheets suitable for printing or copying onto.
%
%   In order to use this package effectively, you will need to
%   accurately configure |dvips| (or similar) for your printer.
%   \LaTeX\ provides a helpful |testpage.tex| for this purpose.
%
%
% \section{Using FlashCards}
%   \flashcards\ utilizes the standard \LaTeXe\ class interface. Your
%   document should be begin with:
%   \begin{center}
%     |\documentclass[|\textit{options}|]{flashcards}|
%   \end{center}
%   
% \subsection{Options}
%   \DescribeMacro{avery5371}
%   All documents should specify the paper type.  I have provided
%   the two that I use, business cards (Avery 5371 as well as Avery
%   5376, 5377, 5911, 8371, 8376, 8377, 8471 and 8373) and
%   \DescribeMacro{avery5388}
%   index cards (Avery 5388), but variants are easy to generate.  Please
%   refer to Section \ref{sec:paperconfig}  for the details of creating
%   your own configuration file for a particular type of paper.
%
%   \DescribeMacro{fronts}
%   If desired, you can typeset just the |fronts| of the cards or just
%   the |backs| of the cards.  Useful if your printer does not print
%   \DescribeMacro{backs}
%   two sides without your help, although |dvips| offers the same
%   functionality with odd/even switches (|-A| or |-B|, respectively).
%
%   \DescribeMacro{grid}
%   Useful for getting everything lined up as well as for examining
%   the cards as you create them, the |grid| option will draw lines
%   where the perforation will be.
%
%   \DescribeMacro{frame}
%   The |frame| option will frame the contents of the card with a thin
%   line.  There will be a uniform margin (see below for how to set it)
%   between the edge of the card and the frame. 
%
%   \DescribeMacro{dvips}
%   If you are using landscape oriented paper, you may want to use the
%   |dvips| option to send the right specials to |dvips| so that it
%   knows about the orientation without have to tell it from the
%   command line.  Warning: this option displaces my margins, if the
%   same happens to you, then you will want to avoid it or create a
%   special configuration for this case.  There must be some
%   alternative configuration file somewhere that gets used when this
%   option is specified for the |geometry| package.
%
% \subsection{Environment}
%   \DescribeEnv{flashcard}
%   The \flashcards\ class provideds the environment |flashcard|
%   for specifying the contents of each flash card.  The |flashcard|
%   environment has one required argument, which becomes the
%   contents of the front side of the card (the question or prompt).
%   The body of the environment then becomes the contents of the
%   back side of the card.  For example,
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \begin{flashcard}{Dense Subset}
%       A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
%       in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.
%     \end{flashcard}
%   \end{verbatim}
%   will produce the front-back pair:
%   \begin{center}
%     \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
%       \footnotesize\vspace*{\fill}\par
%       \centerline{\textbf{Dense Subset}}\par\vspace*{\fill}}}
%     \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
%       \footnotesize\vspace*{\fill}\par\begin{center}%
%       A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
%       in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.\end{center}\par\vspace*{\fill}}}
%   \end{center}
%   This is not the end of the story, however, there are several
%   styles to choose from and an optional argument to the |flashcard|
%   environment.  These will be descibed next.
%
% \subsection{Styles}
%   By default, \flashcards\ uses the |plain| style for both the front
%   and back of the flash card.  The |plain| style centers the contents
%   horizontally and vertically.  The front contents are also set in
%   in large bold face, but this can be changed while setting the
%   style as described below.
%
%   \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontstyle}
%   The style of the front of the card can be conveniently selected
%   with the |\cardfrontstyle{|\textit{style}|}| command, where
%   \textit{style} can be one of |empty|, |plain|, or |headings|.
%   The |plain| style has already been described.  The |empty|
%   style does not center the contents horizontally nor vertically,
%   allowing for more generic usage. The |headings| style allows you to
%   set a running footer with
%   \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontfoot}
%   the |\cardfrontfoot{|\textit{text}|}| command, as well
%   as set a header for each card with an optional argument to
%   the |flashcard| environment.  For example,
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \cardfrontstyle{headings}
%     \cardfrontfoot{Functional Analysis}
%     \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Dense Subset}
%       A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
%       in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.
%     \end{flashcard}
%   \end{verbatim}
%   will produce the front-back pair:
%   \begin{center}
%     \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
%       \footnotesize\textsc{Definition}\par\vspace*{\fill}\par
%       \centerline{\textbf{Dense Subset}}\par\vspace*{\fill}\par
%       \hspace*{\fill}\textsc{Functional Analysis}}}
%     \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
%       \footnotesize\vspace*{\fill}\par\begin{center}%
%       A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
%       in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.\end{center}\par\vspace*{\fill}}}
%   \end{center}
%
%   You can also change the default formatting of the contents of the
%   front of the card by including the new formatting commands as an
%   optional argument to |\cardfrontstyle|.  For example, to set the
%   overall style to be |plain| (thus centering the contents of the
%   front of the card), as well as set the contents in a large
%   slanted face, you could issue the command:
%   \begin{center}
%     |\cardfrontstyle[\LARGE\slshape]{plain}|
%   \end{center}
%
%   \DescribeMacro{\cardbackstyle}
%   The style of the back of the card can be conveniently selected
%   with the |\cardbackstyle{|\textit{style}|}| command, where
%   \textit{style} can either be |empty| or |plain|. The |plain| style
%   has already been described.  The |empty| style does not center the
%   contents horizontally nor vertically, allowing for more generic
%   usage.
%
%   The default formatting can also be changed through an optional
%   argument in the same manner as for the front of the card.
%
% \subsubsection{Headings Styles}
%   \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontheadstyle}
%   The header and footer provided for the front of the card by the
%   |headings| style can be customized through two style commands.
%   \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontfootstyle}
%   The available styles for the header and footer are |left|,
%   |center| and |right|, which will place the contents of the
%   header or footer as advertized.  By default the header will be
%   |left| justified and the footer will be |right| justified.
%
%   Here as well, you can provide an optional argument to specify
%   the formatting of the header and footer, for example to have
%   the footer centered and set in a small italic face:
%   \begin{center}
%     |\cardfrontfootstyle[\small\itshape]{center}|
%   \end{center}
%
% \subsection{Lengths}
%   \flashcards\ has one length (in addition to the those discussed in
%   paper configuration below) which allows you to set the size of the
%   uniform margin around the contents of both the front and back of
%   the card.  For example, to set that uniform margin at $1/4''$, you
%   can do the following:
%   \begin{center}
%      |\setlength{\cardmargin}{0.25in}|
%   \end{center}

\begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Norm on a Linear Space \\ Normed Space}

  A real-valued function $||x||$ defined on a linear space $X$, where
  $x \in X$, is said to be a \emph{norm on} $X$ if

  \smallskip

  \begin{description}
    \item [Positivity]            $||x|| \geq 0$,
    \item [Triangle Inequality]   $||x+y|| \leq ||x|| + ||y||$,
    \item [Homogeneity]           $||\alpha x|| = |\alpha| \:  ||x||$,
                                  $\alpha$ an arbitrary scalar,
    \item [Positive Definiteness] $||x|| = 0$ if and only if $x=0$,
  \end{description}

  \smallskip

  where $x$ and $y$ are arbitrary points in $X$.

  \medskip

  A linear/vector space with a norm is called a \emph{normed space}.
\end{flashcard}


\begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Inner Product}

  Let $X$ be a complex linear space. An \emph{inner product} on $X$ is
  a mapping that associates to each pair of vectors $x$, $y$ a scalar,
  denoted $(x,y)$, that satisfies the following properties:

  \medskip

  \begin{description}
    \item [Additivity]            $(x+y,z) = (x,z) + (y,z)$,
    \item [Homogeneity]           $(\alpha \: x, y) = \alpha (x,y)$,
    \item [Symmetry]              $(x,y) = \overline{(y,x)}$,
    \item [Positive Definiteness] $(x,x) > 0$, when $x\neq0$.
  \end{description}
\end{flashcard}


\begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Linear Transformation/Operator}

  A transformation $L$ of (operator on) a linear space $X$ into a linear
  space $Y$, where $X$ and $Y$ have the same scalar field, is said to be
  a \emph{linear transformation (operator)} if

  \medskip

  \begin{enumerate}
    \item $L(\alpha x) = \alpha L(x), \forall x\in X$ and $\forall$
          scalars $\alpha$, and
    \item $L(x_1 + x_2) = L(x_1) + L(x_2)$ for all $x_1,x_2 \in X$.
  \end{enumerate}

\end{flashcard}

% \section{Paper Configuration}
%   \label{sec:paperconfig}
%
%   A separate configuration file specifies the details of each
%   paper type.  You should be able to create a new configuration
%   file from the information the paper manufacturer provides
%   with the product.  Again, in order for this to work properly,
%   you must accurately configure your printer.  I recommend
%   using |testpage.tex| and reading the |dvips| (or similar)
%   documentation (|info dvips| on a typical \textsc{Linux}
%   installation).  Also, on my setup I have experienced variation
%   between portrait and landscape oriented papers.
%
%   There are seven parameters which must be set. The names should be
%   somewhat self explanatory.  I recommend making a copy of one of the
%   existing configuration files and modifying the copy as
%   necessary.
%
%   For example, a $5 \times 2$ business card stock that I have been
%   using has a $0.75''$ left and right margins and a $0.50''$ top margin
%   which offset an array of $2''$ high and $3.5''$ wide business cards
%   arranged in $5$ vertical rows and $2$ horizontal columns.  I use
%   the following configuration file:
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \newcommand{\cardpaper}{letterpaper}
%     \newcommand{\cardpapermode}{portrait}
%     \newcommand{\cardrows}{5}
%     \newcommand{\cardcolumns}{2}
%     \setlength{\cardheight}{2.0in}
%     \setlength{\cardwidth}{3.5in}
%     \setlength{\topoffset}{0.50in}
%     \setlength{\oddoffset}{0.75in}
%     \setlength{\evenoffset}{0.75in}
%   \end{verbatim}
%   All four commands must be defined and all five lengths must be
%   specified.  If the array of cards is not centered left-to-right
%   on the paper, you should set |\oddoffset| to the left margin of
%   the front and |\evenoffset| to the right margin of the front.
%
%
% \StopEventually{}
%
% \section{Class Source}
%    The \LaTeXe\ source code follows. The flash cards are built up
%    in an array of save boxes which are flushed at the end of each
%    page and at the end of the document.
