    SI study group Supplemental instruction (SI) offers free out-of-class study groups to help you succeed in this class. There will be three one-hour weekly sessions and you may choose to go to one, two, or all three sessions. Students who regularly attend SI will save time studying, better master the course content, and likely earn a better grade. Further information can be obtained from the Faculty of Science web site.
    Special Need students Any student with a disability who may need accommodations should discuss these with the course instructor after contacting the Coordinator of the Disability Resource Office, RC 251.15, at 585-4631.



    To help you organize your studies, a detailed syllabus and a list of supplementary problems will be provided. You should attempt to work all of the problems from the list very thoroughly. Some of them will be solved during the lab hours. If you have difficulties, do not hesitate to contact me during the office hours or by e-mail.
