This is the home page for the Mercyhurst mosaic. Mosaic is a hypertext-based information browsing system. With it you can access most information freely available over the internet. It is a very important tool for research. Be careful, it's addictive. Below you will find a series of items of common use among gravity-type people. Click once on the underlined item you are interested in to get more information. If something takes horribly long click on the rotating earth symbol to abort. This is also an extremely powerful tool for teaching. Welcome to the tour.
