Math149S: Problem Solving Seminar
This is a resource page for those taking the Math problem solving class Math149S that I am co-teaching with Matt Rognlie for Fall 2009. The class meets every Wednesday from 7:30pm to 9:00pm in Physics 119. Anyone is welcome to audit, and those wishing to take the half-credit class for credit should contact Dr. Kraines. We will have pizza at the end of every class. Here you will find the weekly problem sets and lecture slides as they become available.Course Schedule
