Patterning the World: Connecting Mathematics and Science – Winter 2014

You can find which lab/seminar group you are in here. Sorry for the delay.

Go here for information/instructions on enrolling in WebAssign.

Hope you had a good first day in the program and are looking forward to a fun and challenging quarter.

• Here are printable versions of the Syllabus, Covenant, and the Syllabus/Covenant Workshop
• You can find the Lab Safety Manual and the Lab Safety Quiz here. The Lab Safety Quiz is due in Lab on Wed. Jan. 8

Some information about our first day:

• Our mandatory first class meeting begins promptly at 8:45 am Monday January 6 in Lecture Hall 4.
• Neal and Krishna will be there by 8:30 so come early if you’d like.
• We have a very large wait list, so registered students who are not present at the first class meeting and have not contacted us in advance will be dropped to make room for wait-listed students who are present.
• From 10:00 – 11:00 or 11:00 – noon, you will have a Lab Safety lecture in Lab I, room 2046. When you are not in the Lab Safety lecture, you will work (individually or in small groups) on an exercise related to the Syllabus and Covenant which sets us up for our afternoon activity.
• Our lunch break is from noon – 1:00. Neal and Krishna will be available in Sem 2 E2105 if you’d like to talk with us. We’ll be eating our lunch but welcome the company.
• From 1:00 – 3:00, we meet in Sem 2 E2105. We begin promptly at 1:00.

You can find the Syllabus and Covenant under the About link in the menu bar above. Here are direct links to the Syllabus and Covenant (click on the underlined words). We’ll provide printed versions in our first class meeting, so you don’t need to print these out yourself (the linked versions aren’t formatted well for printing anyway).

• Please complete the Student Survey by Fri. Jan. 3. You can find the Survey under the About link in the menu bar above, or by clicking here.
• Our first class meeting is Mon. Jan. 6 at 8:45 am in Lecture Hall 4. Students enrolled in the program who do not come to the first class meeting will lose their place in the program, at faculty discretion. If you are registered but not planning to take the program, please dis-enroll to make room for a student from our long wait list.
• The wait list for the program is quite long. Our enrollment cap is determined by the number of seats available in our lab room, which is strictly limited. We will take students to fill any available seats, chosen at faculty discretion. If you are not enrolled in the program but are interested in joining, you must come to the first class  meeting (don’t come if it conflicts with the program you are actually enrolled in, as you don’t want to lose that seat).

You can find a link to the program description, the weekly schedule, and our Academic Fair handout using the About link in the menu bar.
