Mailing List

I have set up a mailing list for all the students in the class. We can use this list to discuss class topics, assignments, problems, tips, etc... I require all the students to sign up for this list. Be sure to use an email address you check daily, and that is recognizable to your real name.

This is your first graded assignment!

To subscribe to the list

• Send e-mail to: TBD
• Subject line: subscribe
• Body of message: subscribe

Note: It is best if you cut and paste this information. You are sending email to an automated program, not a person. Follow the directions exactly, and you will be added to the list. You will receive a confirmation email that you have to reply to.

Remember, everyone can read all messages sent to the mailing list. Send personal email to bjgleas 'at' gmail 'dot' com, but any and all class related message need to be sent to the mailing list.

Class Schedule and Notes

You should download and read the lecture notes before class. The lecture notes are in PDF format, you might have to download a reader for your machine.

You should visit the websites, and download the programs and run them.

Also, the lecture notes may not be complete, and should not serve as a substitute for attending class.
