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.

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.
Nathan Weigl
