while i encourage you to check over the new strings.C file, please do not
make changes to the existing strings inside of this file unless you send
out an e-mail at the same time.

simply put, the mathematics behind some of the equations listed there is
not as straightforward as it first seems. especially the equations
dealing with rotations. as such, please don't change the equations just
because "you're sure that they're wrong". these equations have all been
thoroughly checked many times.

additionally, due to string size limitations, i was forced to write some
equations in fairly nonconventional form. this fact might further hide
their validity.

if all the analysis scripts are to use this file, then any "corrections"
to this file should be made public so that others can see if they agree.
