Todd, These are great. Is it ok to use these images/files for teaching at a university? And if so, is there any credit we need to give beyond the copyright notice at the bottom of each?
You can print them, hand them out, make slides, etc. The only restriction is that they not be posted online (like on your website). For some reason, Google gets confused when it sees the tables elsewhere, which causes problems. If you need any other tables or have special requests, feel free to ask 🙂
