NEWS Sept 22a: Assignments have been updated (really).
I apologize for not getting them to the Web Friday!
A link has been added for the "text" material;
my apologies for forgetting to put that link in!

It takes a lot of storage space for the handwritten
notes I scanned. Thus I need to ask you to work from the screen on
Monday's notes, and I'll type the notes for Wednesday and after
-- tho the typing may be full of typos and abbreviations!

M a y b e I'll be able to go back and type Monday's notes. Or
maybe adm knows how to reduce the file size for the notes by
a factor of ten...


NEWS Sept 21a: Notes for Sept 22 have links below. They are in JPEG
format. The files are large. I suggest downloading them at a U
computer lab! They look better in Photoshop than in a browser too.
One question I have for you: what about the length of the notes
for 9/22? Be sure to ask questions by email!! I may combine them
and post a version of the question and my answer on the Web. Be sure
to check the Web site daily! I'm thinking about having impromptu
office hours when I stop by on the way home. Let me know...


NEWS Sept 19: Assignments have been updated.
Please check your email, or check here about 11:30 Monday
to see whether I can make it to class then. Later Monday when
I know more about how the jury duty works, I let you know more.
The notes for Monday's lecture should be on the Web by Sunday evening.
The notes will refer to the book frequently!
