How To Use This Web Page

If you are a member of the class, you should probably bookmark this page. On it you will be able to access all class documents, such as homework solutions, quizzes, test solutions, exam reports and class worksheets. Class documents are mostly in LaTeX but I have also made the DVI and Postscript. Thanks to a student named Dan Bleskan the materials are in GIF format so they can be viewed with your browser.
If you are a member of my class this semester you should check back here for Course Announcements on a regular basis.
