I tried to compile the file for native dvi latex output and was
successful only after introducing the following disabling instructions.

     \let\spadfunFrom=\empty 
     \def\spadgraph#1{} 
     \let\nwfilename=\empty 
     \long\def\nwbegincode#1\nwendcode{} 
     \long\def\moddef#1\endmoddef{}

Not sure what is the reason, unless my axiom.sty is outdated.

A compilation under htlatex shows a support problem for
\begin{list}...\end{list}. I'll need to look into this case.

Quite a few problems resulting from sources similar to

    $$ 
    [{ \mbox{\rm Hue: } {22} \mbox{\rm Weight: } {1.0}} \mbox{\rm ] from
    the }  
    Dark \mbox{\rm palette}  
    $$ 

in which the fences [ and ] improperly set to take the form [...\mbox{]}.

I detected the following 5 errors.

Extra line break \\ after tabular:

    We will use point vectors, planes, and coordinate frames as variables 

Three formulas similar to:

    ${^{HAND}{\bf tv}}_{\bf x}$

with implicit base for ^ (details at

An exponent on a left parenthesis:

   $${\bf Rot(k,\theta)} = {\bf Rot(^C{\bf z},\theta)}\eqno(1.60)$$
