VIDEO LINKS MAY BE BROKEN!
---> AppState migrated from Panopto to Kalura in Spring 2021. I had a bunch of old recording 
     done in Panopto that got migrated. I fixed links in the Spring 2020 Complex Variables
     class. I had recorded more for that class because of Covid. 

---> See Spring 2020 Version for working video.

Final Project Topics -- Dibs which have been offically called upon:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

05/07: I just submitted grades. I posted your final grade component (participation/presentation/handout) 
       on AsULearn. I also posted your cumulative course average with the your course letter grade posted 
       as a comment on the final course average.

       For those who still have some of my books, feel free to continue borrowing for a while. When you 
       finish with them, drop them off at my office (Sandy or Robin can open my office door) or leave them 
       in my mailbox if there's room.

       If you ever have any questions - mathematical or otherwise - and you think I might be of help, don't 
       hesitate to stop by my office or send me an email. I'm happy to help if I can! 

       I hope you all have a great summer!

      Gamelin Chapter I (pages 1-32)
      Fisher Sections 1.1-1.3 (pages 1-30)

      We will almost certainly not cover all of Gamelin's first chapter, but 
      looking/reading ahead is not a bad thing.
