Office hours by request only
I can't hold my normal hours tomorrow, and since there's only one more week of classes after this one, I just might as well not hold regular hours anymore. I'll still be available by email to work out alternate meetings, and I'll probably hold a review thing before the final.

Office hours canceled for this week
Due to Carnival coming up, and the fact that the test is Monday / tomorrow, I will not be able to hold my normal office hours this week. If you wish to meet with me outside of recitation, email me. If you want to pick up your old work and haven't yet, it's in the box outside Prof. Handron's office. -Klipper

Small correction
On Sunday from 6 to 8, it's not a review session per se, but more like office hours. I would suggest that people coming bring questions they would like to go over. I will not prepare a set agenda for the session.
Exam #3
Well, it's about that time. Time for Exam #3, that is. It will be given in class on Monday (April 14). I've posted a Review Page, including all the sections covered, and sample problems from each one. I've also posted solutions to a selection of the review problems on the Blackboard site (under "Course Documents").
The solutions to HW#11 are available on the Blackboard site, and the solutions to HW#12 are scheduled to appear at 12:05 Saturday afternoon.
I will hold a review session on Sunday afternoon, from 1:00 to 2:30 in WEH 5302. Michael Klipper will hold a review session Sunday evening in his office, from 6:00-8:00. If his office gets too crowded, he tells me he'll move to the whiteboards outside WEH 7500.

Office hours change
I am unable to make my Wednesday office hours, so I will move them to Thursday from 7pm to 8pm in the usual spot, Wean 7215. Shoot me an email if you want to come but can't make that time and I'll work something out. -Klipper

Carnegie Mellon Project Goes Big-Time
Which one, you ask? The Experimental Gameplay Project.
According to thier website, "The Experimental Gameplay Project is about discovering new forms of gameplay. Each game must be made in less than 7 days by 1 person, and show off something we've never seen before." I don't see anything about Carnegie Mellon at this site, but according to this Boing Boing article the project began here.
In any case, the games are currently being distributed, along with game themed T-shirts, at Target stores. I couldn't find them on the Target website, but Kevin Allen Jr. noticed them while shopping one night.

Assignment for Week #10
The reading and homework assignments for Week #10 have been posted. It is a little longer than usual, but not too much so.
Up to this point in the course, we have focused on the mechanics of computing derivatives. There have been a few motivational topics (e.g. related rates), but the focus was on the process of differentiation. Next week we begin investigating why one might want to do so. Specifically, we'll begin by looking at the information derivatives give us about a function.
