My office hours are Monday Noon to 1. I will only stay for the first 15 minutes unless someone has emailed me telling me that they will come later in the hour. I am also available by appointment and you can always send me an email at any time. Also, feel free to grab me after class as I am almost always available right then.
We have a Head TA for this course. His name is Emmett Wyman and his email address is: emmett.wyman@gmail.com
For most bureaucratic issues, he is the one to contact, but I'm still
the boss.
Syllabus and General facts of life for the course.
Here is a page of useful supportive materials
for the course, things like how to study math etc.
Every semester I have taught this course some natural disaster
happens like a hurricane or a big snow storm and classes get
canceled. If classes get canceled, then you are to read
the appropriate material (like you are supposed to do anyway) and
when you come to the next class we will just pretend we had
the classes that were canceled
and we all learned what was supposedly lectured on.
Problem set assignments:
This is the place I normally assign problem sets, but
they will now be posted on Blackboard, I believe. We'll see.
Many of you have conflicts with the final exam. We have a
system to take care of that. Just don't try to leave town
at noon the day of your conflicts.
