Nice.

Bug reports:

Note that even though t is 1, we'll end up with a unit error if we don't carry it around.

I think you meant r here.

And you have flipped the sign of \Delta U_{linear}.

Fixed. Thanks for reading so closely. It's amazing how many little mistakes can survive after 10 read-throughs.

Another small typo: Under "The Finite Problem", n_{A,s} and n_{B,s} should be n_{A,t} and n_{B,t} instead.
