Math 260 - Integrative Seminar (Spring 2008)

 

Course Syllabus PDF

 

It seems that some people are editing using the "point and click editor" and others using the

"classic mode." Either is fine, however, it also appears that switching between them can mess

up the formating of this document. After you save your edits, please check to see if you have

changed the formatting in any way, and clean up as necessary.

 

In an attempt to keep these pages cleaner and more organized, I've started separate pages

for the questions from each week. The links are below.

 

2/22/08 - Excellent in-class discussion this week! Keep up the good work. (JAP)

 

2/29/08 - Good job again today guys! And, very good work on the wiki over the last week. (JAP)

 

3/5/08 - Note, small change with the Cipra article. For now, we'll stick with only reading section one.

I've posted a reading for next week that gives an even more elementary introduction to the Ising model. (JAP)

 

3/14/08 - Feels like we are rolling...good work! (JAP)

 

3/24/08 - Sorry for the delay in updating, holiday and such... (JAP)

 

4/8/08 - Didn't get much done during spring break... doing a little updating today. No questions

for this week, just things to think and talk about. (JAP)

 

4/14/08 - Ok, back to work! (JAP)
