Notes:

1. E-mail me asap to reserve a date and topic for your student project.

2. Some ideas for student projects that haven't been chosen include: Mathcad, Access, C++, Visual basic, Fathom, graphing calculators,...

3. If your topic is similar to someone else's, please consult with me and the other student to avoid overlap.

4. All exams are open-book.  I'd suggest organizing your notes throughout the semester.
