snow day 3/2/2009

Having signed up for NOVA Alert on my cell phone, I'm as up to speed as I'm ever going to be. I've received two messages so far today: closed till noon and then, moments ago, closed "all day."

Does that mean all through the evening, too? I don't know, so I await another message.

Meanwhile, Math 174 gets more time for the problems in 7.5 (call me at home for a hint if you're stuck), and we'll finish Chapter 7 on Wednesday, and we'll have our test on 6.2 – 6.5, 7.1 – 7.6 and 7.8 on Monday, March 16. What a day that will be, with projects due then, too.

Meanwhile, some students in my other class reminded me of the site InteractMath.com. There you can find an abundance of fully-worked examples from a number of textbooks other than our own — they're all substantially the same, but the Adams book (first in the long list) seems to have the greatest number of online problems.
