12/14 Grades have been posted on asULearn.

12/12 I fixed the error on Test #4 problem #2 (the given coordinate matrix
      and RREF were wrong). Also, thanks for Jordan for finding a typo on
      the spring 2011 final exam answer key. On the last problem computing
      the determinant I had (-1)^5 where it should be (-1)^2. This is now
      fixed as well.

12/09 The answer key for the Spring 2011 final exam has been posted.

      From Nate Weigl (the Faculty member in charge of the Math lab)...
      -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
      Please note in you syllabi that the General Math Lab Hours this fall are:
 
      Mon. & Wed. 2 - 5pm
      Tues. & Thurs. 3:30 - 6:30pm
 
      Walker 303A.
 
      ***This is a change from last semester, when we experimented with 2-5pm, M-Th.  
         After talking to a handful of students it seems that the staggered times 
         generally work better for those who attend most often.
 
     Thanks.
