MATH 166.507 – Spring 2008
Topics in Contemporary Mathematics, II

Below you will find information for Math 166, Section 507. I will attempt to keep this webpage updated. If I'm getting too far behind, you can encourage me to catch up. This is a multi-section course, all of which follow closely the department-provided calendar and syllabus. Students in sections other than 507 should quiz their instructor before using me as a resource.

Announcements
(01/21/08)  The instructors for MATH 166 had a meeting... we decided to make online homework due on Thursday evenings. Your first-day handout is now inaccurate. Please make note of the changes (the syllabus link above points to the new version).
(01/03/08)  Finally started to populate this page. Stay tuned...


As outlined in the "course syllabus" above, cengageNOW homework will usually be due on Thursday evenings, while any additional assignments will be due at the beginning of class on the dates indicated below. No late homework will be accepted, but the lowest 3 scores will be ignored when considering your final grade for the course.

ABOUT cengageNOW:  Note that once you start an online homework assignment, you must complete it. You have three (3) hours to do so. You may attempt most assignments five (5) times before the due date. Only your final attempt will be graded.
