What resources are available for you?

• Your Textbook and your Class notes are an excellent source of information. You should look at examples in the text as well as examples done in class. It is often-times helpful to look at other problems in the book!
• I have an office and email. Please contact me any time you have a questions or concerns.
• The math department has a list of private tutors.
• If students have enrollment problems (wishing to enroll in a CLOSED section, etc.), they should go to the Math Help Desk during the first two weeks of classes. The Math Help Desk is in room 307 Van Vleck.
