Welcome to MA 103. Make sure that you pick up the course DVD's along with your text book. During the semester, you will mail in 4 assignments to me; these will count for 70% of your grade. At the end of the semester, you will have to take a final exam (open notes) on campus or with an approved proctor. I will provide more information about the final exam later in the semester.
The text book for the course is: Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 6th edition, by Tannenbaum
Mail your assignments to me at the following address:
Dr. T. Lada

I will grade your work and return it along with the next assignment.
