NEW: Discuss the Tychos Model at the TYCHOS FORUM
“Chi va piano va sano — e va lontano.” (old Italian adage)
("He who goes slowly goes well — and goes far")
NOTE for the online readers of this book: Before you start reading the 32 chapters of this book, I highly recommend you to open on your laptop the TYCHOSIUM 3D simulator and spend some time getting familiar with its functions (some basic tips and instructions can be found in Chapter 4 of this book.)
