A blog, co-written with Morris Coats and Norbert Michel.

Originally written exclusively for our students, but it really didn’t “work”.

As such, recently it has been evolving into something a bit different, but

hopefully still of interest to our introductory students.  I largely took the

2007-08 school year off from the blog, but there are some nice posts (or

so I think) tucked away in the archives.  Dr. Coats has been leading the

charge of late.
