Constraints on Omega_B, Omega_m and h from MAXIMA and BOOMERANG

We analyse the BOOMERANG and MAXIMA results in the context of models with $\Omega_{\rm Total} = 1$ and $n_s = 1$. We attempt to constrain three other parameters---$h$, $\Omega_B$, and $\Omega_m$---from these observations. We show that: (a) the value of $\O
