Using  the Schedule

     Tip: Before each class, read the scheduled chapter in the text, and click on the

    subject description to download lecture notes on PowerPoint 2003 slides.  On

  selected dates, complete and submit homework assignments, with explanations for your answers so that, if you make mistakes, you can receive comments on where you went wrong.  For example, H1 below refers to the first homework assignment.  H1 Due gives you the due date, and clicking on Start H1 gives you the assignment.

Tip: Note that class meets on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and the final exam is on Tuesday, December 14th.  Adjust your travel plans to attend every class meeting, and to take the final when scheduled.
