College recommendation information

If you are finishing junior year and want me to write college recommendation letters for you, see this page for information. The first step is completing a questionnaire by the end of June. There are more steps to take in the fall. See the linked page for all the details.

Project due Tue. 6/10

All this week you'll be working on your team project (one of the 9 projects from the Contemporary Calculus textbook). These projects are due and will be presented in class on Tuesday 6/10.

HW due Mon. 6/3

For non-seniors, the homework due Monday is to read through the packet of 9 project choices, and identify 3 or 4 of them that you would potentially be interested in doing as a team project. In class on Monday, we will work together to determine team assignments and project choices.

Reminders for Fri. 5/30
