• General
  • (Aug. 4) Important notice for students taking exams in the Math Computer Lab on the ISU campus: Due to staffing changes, the lab will be open with slightly reduced hours, Mon-Fri 12pm-5pm, during the final week of the course (Aug. 8-12). Be sure to schedule your last exams accordingly. If this change in the schedule will absolutely prevent you from taking certain exams, contact me as soon as possible.
  • (June 14) Proctor registration is now available. See the Proctor Arrangements page for details.
  • (May 18) Welcome to the Extended Education sections of Math 141 and Math 142! Math 142 begins on June 20, and Math 141 begins on July 4. Both courses end on August 12. To begin your course, follow the instructions on the Getting Started page. Two items are of particular importance before you begin the course:
    1. Order your textbook as soon as possible.
    2. Begin making arrangements for an exam proctor (see the Proctor Arrangements page for details). Proctor registration will become available on June 13.
• Math 141
  • I recommend that you go back and look at the details of all your Unit Exams, by clicking on the "View my results" link on the testing web site. If you missed a question because of a very minor syntax error (such as using a comma instead of a semicolon, or a capital "X" instead of lower case "x"), then I will probably give you the points for that question. It you have any such question that you want me to look at, please send me an email identifying the exam and the question number, and I'll take a look at it.
    • Note: It is especially important that you check your Trigonometry Final Exam immediately after the end of the semester, because each question on that exam is worth 2 or 3 points.
