• General
  
  • (Nov. 10) Current Course Grades through the Midterm Exam have now been posted.
  • Be sure to check over the details of all of your proctored exams, using the View My Results link on the testing web site. If you find any problems that were marked incorrect due to a trivial syntax error (such as using a comma in place of a semicolon, or misspelling "sqrt"), send me an email with the details (exam #, date, and question #) and I'll take a look at it.
  • As pages on this web site are updated, they will be listed in the Recent Updates section below.
  • Email advice: I receive many email spams each day, and it's always possible that your important email will get mixed up with the junk. I certainly don't want to miss your email, so to minimize that possibility please use the math140x@math.iastate.edu address and include "Math 140" in the subject line. In addition, be sure to include your name somewhere in the body of the email. If you have a question about an exam or pretest, tell me which exam/pretest and which question number(s) you are referring to. Thanks!
