End of week 8

The W-date has passed. At this point, you are in the course for good.

The homework is up, and the quiz will cover clock-arithmetic. I will be unavailable for the rest of this weekend. So, if you have questions, please use the wamap forum discussion board.

End of Week 7

Here are a couple of announcements:
* the quiz on Mon will cover dividing complex numbers and infinities

There is an additional reading passage to help with infinities:
click here. This will help explain the concept of cardinality and will discuss the Zeus/Apollo competition.

The 2 reading assignments due on Monday are Chpts 1 & 2 from Fermat's Enigma. Please read up through chapter 4 for the start of next week.

The Golden Ratio Reading Assignments...

The Reading Assignments for The Golden Ratio have now been graded. If you would like to contest the grade for a specific question, provide a rationale and reference the page(s) and paragraph(s) in the book supporting your rationale. Email this information to me in a bulleted list for each assignment, and I will review them. I will accept emails through this Friday, and will review them this weekend. If you need an extension on a past reading assignment, your grade will be based on how the system grades your answers...I will not revisit any late RAs for the first book.

At this point, you should have read the first three chapters of Fermat's Enigma. We will talk more about complex arithmetic tomorrow.
