==How to use this page==

  +
Below you will find links to the weekly assignment pages. Each of these pages
  +
is editable by anyone in the class, so apart from telling you what problems to
  +
work on they are excellent spaces in which to ask questions. (If you are very
  +
shy you may ask your questions privately, either by [mailto:jackson@math.umb.edu email]
  +
or in person. But we will all work more efficiently if you ask them on
  +
the wiki, so that each question only needs to be answered once.) It is also
  +
extremely helpful to try to answer questions posed by other students. I will
  +
monitor these pages to ensure that no wrong answers go uncorrected.
  +
  +
If you are not already familiar with them, you may wish to read about

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup wiki markup] and

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:MATH#Typesetting_of_mathematical_formulae typesetting mathematics].

Also, you may wish to add this page and the assignment pages to your

using the link in the upper right corner of each page, then change your

How to use this page[edit]

Below you will find links to the weekly assignment pages. Each of these pages is editable by anyone in the class, so apart from telling you what problems to work on they are excellent spaces in which to ask questions. (If you are very shy you may ask your questions privately, either by email or in person. But we will all work more efficiently if you ask them on the wiki, so that each question only needs to be answered once.) It is also extremely helpful to try to answer questions posed by other students. I will monitor these pages to ensure that no wrong answers go uncorrected.

If you are not already familiar with them, you may wish to read about wiki markup and typesetting mathematics. Also, you may wish to add this page and the assignment pages to your watchlist using the link in the upper right corner of each page, then change your preferences to enable e-mail notifications; this way you will know about page activity without constantly re-checking all the pages.
