Project

There will be a larger project in the class and more information on this front will be posted here after the first midterm.

Writing software

While one can use most word-processing programs for typing in mathematics, those of you interested in pursuing careers in the sciences (or related fields) may want to consider learning some version of LaTeX. This program has the advantage that documents written look right, even if they are not necessarily mathematically correct.

If there is general interest, we may spend a class going over the basics of this editing language, including information on how to obtain and install the (free) software.
