Spring 2009 Semester Opening Comments

The nice thing about the beginning of 2nd semester is that everyone gets a fresh start. YOU have the primary responsibility for what gets done and how much you will learn. If you want maximum results from this course, keep the following in mind:

* Your primary responsibility is to think about mathematics!

* Thinking requires that you be active in your learning.

* You will need to read the book and do your homework every night to practice thinking.
