Please be sure to obtain all the notes and information
you need from this site BEFORE the 15th, or expect to
wait until late that day or the 16th. Though I will make
provisions to ensure that the site will be available on the

The table below lists the destinations
that we will
visit during the course of the term. The due dates for all bonus
questions and the HW assignments are also listed. Because
HW solutions will be posted immediately after the HW problems are due, absolutely
no late HWs will be accepted! See the course syllabus for
details on how the bonus
questions can contribute to your final point
total in the class.
Free tutoring is avaiable from the
