+  \begin{itemize}
+  \myitem Time series and dates are implemented as Matlab/Octave classes
+  \myitem Inplace modification of instantiated objects not supported. Let me explain \dots
+    \begin{itemize}
+      \myitem A class is a template for defining objects, defining their member
+      variables and methods.
+      \begin{itemize}
+        \myitem \textit{e.g.,} The \texttt{dates} class defines 3 member
+        variables--\texttt{ndat}, \texttt{freq}, and \texttt{time}--and many
+        methods (analogous to functions)
+      \end{itemize}
+      \myitem An object is an instance of a specific class. For exemplary
+      purposes, imagine an object \texttt{X}, which is an instantiation of the
+      class ``Integer''. The object has value \texttt{1}:
+\begin{verbatim}
+>> X
+
+X =
+
+     1
+\end{verbatim}
+    \myitem You can call any method defined for the integer class on integer
+    object \texttt{X}. Imagine such a method is called
+    \texttt{multiplyByTwo()}.
+    \myitem In most object-oriented
+    languages, writing \texttt{X.multiplyByTwo();} will change the value
+    contained in \texttt{X} to \texttt{2/2}
