[CHM 331] Restarting the Mathematica Kernel

[Andrew J. Pounds]

  Several of you have reported some odd errors with Mathematica.  Most 
notable among these is that you have one calculation on one line that 
works perfectly and then the same type, nearly identical, calculation on 
the next line fails.

Something that I used to do seemed to resolve this.  It is called 
"restarting the Kernel".  Basically you are telling the Mathematica 
calculation engine to "reboot".   The next time a command exhibits the 
behavior that I mentioned above do the following.

1. Open the Evaluation tab on the top Mathematica Menu
2. Scroll down to the very bottom and hit "Stop Kernel"
3. Then hit "Start Kernel"
4. Follow this with an "Evaluate Notebook"

let me know what happens.
