This web site's intended audience (the “you” of these pages)
is the faculty and the graduate students of the Math Department.
The following facilities are solely for their use.
Undergraduate students enrolled in mathematics courses should use
the DoIT
Infolabs
Computers. The Math Department has plenty of high-quality computers.
Graduate students have a Linux machine in each of their offices,
and faculty members have their own computers in their offices. If you're a faculty
member and don't have a computer of your own, we (the Math Department's
friendly computer help staff) will gladly supply you with one for your office.
Graduate students and faculty may also compute away on the
workstations located in the computer labs in
rooms 322 and 101B (just above the Math Library), or use
the Windows XP machine with the copier/scanner in room 205.
The computer labs have a mixture of Linux PCs, Macintoshes and
scanners (attached to the Win XP PC and Mac in 322). The linux, Macs
and Windows machines have
CD-RW drives which you may use to make CD backups of your files.
Lastly, for those instructors wishing to incorporate computers into their lesson plans,
the e-classroom, room B107, featuring
21 fast Windows machines,
is open for reservations. Check with the receptionist in 213 to reserve B107. You can check out the key to B107 from the Math Library.
Printers. At the end of the halls on floors 3 through 8 and in rooms 101A
and B127, sit HP LaserJet Postscript-capable Duplex (double-sided printing) grayscale
printers for your use. You can print a total of 250 pages per month on these free of charge.
After that, using them will cost you 5 cents per page rounded down to the nearest
whole dollar amount. Also, in room 213 there's an HP Color Postscript-only
printer which
reproduces color images quite fabulously. Unfortunately, it's ink is
expensive, so using it will cost you 60 cents per page.
To find out how to use these printers see Printing.
Other Computer Equipment. The Math Department also has
two laptop computers, some portable computer projectors and
laser pointers which you can check out from the Math Library. Rooms
901, B223, B231, B130, B107 and B102 have ceiling mounted projectors. Come talk to us (see below) if you want
to use any of these.
Wireless Internet Service is available throughout Van Vleck.
Now that you know what and where the computing facilities are,
find out about the usage policies
that go with them.
