1. Math Lab Hours: Monday through Friday, 10:30 to 3:30 beginning on Thursday, September 13.
2. The course webpage can easily be viewed from the computers in the Math Lab (S525 Ross). The tutors there can assist you.
3. The course policy forbids the use of calculators on all quizzes and exams.
4. Much of the information on the course webpage as pdf files. To read these files, your computer must have Adobe Acrobat. If you do not have this program, it can be downloaded for free from http://www.adobe.com Just click on plug-ins & upgrades at the Adobe website.
   If the solutions look like a bad fax, view them with magnification. Alternatively, print the solutions. Either method produces a good looking document.
5. If you get an error message when trying to read a pdf file, it is probably being downloaded too slowly to your computer. Click on the item with your right mouse button and select "save link as". An icon will appear on your screen. Click on that icon and Acrobat will open the file properly.
