The FHSST is the contribution of a group of young scientists towards furthering science education in South Africa. We aim to provide a free science textbook for Grades 10 - 12 to all South African learners.

PSTricks
We chose the PSTricks packages for our drawings because we could draw nice, vector-based line drawings easily. By producing simple line drawings we can reduce the printing cost of the book (no colour) and students are often more confused by complicated colour drawings/photographs in explanations.
Examples
There is a learning curve to using PSTricks for the first time. There are manuals and examples available on the web and they are much better than we could do on one web-page.
There are many examples in the books already. For graphs check the algebra and trigonometry chapters. For drawings look through the physics chapters that are there already.

Thats it! You should now be able to compile the FHSST book!
tar xfz generic.tar.gz
tar xfz latex.tar.gz
tar xfz dvips.tar.gz
Then you must install the needed files by typing (this will install pstricks in /usr/share/texmf, but many users may prefer to change the install location)
