Classic Nook + Calibre + Mathematical PDF's

[Halcyon]

I am taking Physics 2 this semester (along with calc 3, statics, materials engineering, and Fortran), and am trying to get the process figured out while I wait for disability services to produce the PDF's for all of my books this semester.

I have found a free book here (http://www.anselm.edu/internet/physi...wnloadsII.html) that I have been trying to format with Calibre to actually be viewable. But I have been completely unsuccessful with it.

I'm an Aerospace Engineering major. The fact that the Nook uses metadata instead of reading the pdf is infuriating, but I've already bought it and I otherwise love it. Since my eBooks for school are going to be shipped to me in PDF form, I'm in for a wild ride, I guess you could say... of infuriation.

I need to nip this in the bud pretty quick so I can get it figured out so that I can make it all go when I get them.

Do I need to transfer the document (original) into a PDF or an Epub? I'm not even sure what format the nook prefers!

Thanks for your help in advance!


edit:

I'm getting one or the other.
Either the text is formatted correctly and the mathematical functions are all split into different lines and incomprehensible, or the text is formatted incorrectly and that mathematical functions are all split into different lines and are incomprehensible.

I'm running out of hair to pull out.
