10/31/05: Class meets in McCain 211 on Monday, 11/7.  We'll meet in McCain 211 instead of the regular classroom, for a library presentation. I'm told that "the second floor can be surprisingly challenging for people to find. If they take the elevator & push "2", that generally works. Or there are steps behind closed wooden doors just to the left of the 1st floor entrance (granted, the steps are not obvious). as you might guess, walking up 1 flight takes care of it.... and there is not much else on the second floor."

10/7/05: Posted solutions to the first midterm.  NOTE:  4b should read "M'(6) = 0.22e^6.6," not "M'(2) = 0.22e^2.2."

9/1/05:  The Learning Support Center will be offering workshops to help you with your TI 83/84 and TI 86 graphing calculator.  These are basic workshops and will cover how to input a function, changing the window, zoom menu and how to find roots and intersections.  These workshops can be offered Sep. 6, 8 and 12 from 4-5 or 5-6.  If you are interested e-mail Ms. Schwarzlose at mschwarzlose@agnesscott.edu  and let her know which calculator you have and what time(s) you can come.  If you can't come at these times or have a different calculator you can always get help at the Math Learning Support Center in G-12 when it is open.
