Notes

• Those of you who turned in the exam in nontraditional ways (email, under my door) will find that I didn't return your exam. Those exams got put in a separate stack, and didn't go home with me for the weekend. I'll do my best to return those tomorrow.
• The exam was hard, but not impossible (there were a number of grades in the 90's and even some over 100). Nonetheless, I've upgraded some low exams and will do my best to make the next exam shorter and simpler.
• The snow messed up my morning (no day care), so today's outline may be a little bit more brief than most.
• This Thursday's convocation talk is a cool math talk, and you are all encouraged to go. It mixes history, mathematics, and much more.

We spent the day talking about assignment 6 and exam 1.
