Excellent coverage of the excess and equilibrium concepts. Grammar mistakes in your notes cause some confusion, but I was able to get the gist of your explanations and definitions. The graphs were very helpful to my understanding as well. Some stylistic advice would be to change the background image to something less distracting and change the font color, as the current blue conflicts with the dark gray backsplash.
