time (even at the end of the semester) or fail the course.
To have an absence excused, you must get permission from the
instructor before class begins.

Class Notes
The class notes will be placed on the class
website (both pptx and pdf versions).
If you have trouble reading the equations in the pptx version, you are
most likely having a font problem due to missing MathType fonts.
 Use the pdf version
 Download the free MathType fonts: (http://www.dessci.com/en/dl/fonts/default.asp)
 Download MathType (30 day free trial). After 30 days, it reverts to MathType Lite, which
has all of the fonts and is still better than Equation Editor (which comes with Microsoft Office).
