Where and When

We meet in Thomson 335 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 3:30pm. The first class is on Monday March 29th, my 44th birthday!
If you want to follow the course from somewhere other than the University of Washington, you are most welcome! You are also welcome to participate in the class as much as you wish through the Bulletin Board and Newsgroup (see below).

Bulletin Board and Newsgroup

You should use the Bulletin Board and/or the newsgroup to talk with other students in the class. If you have questions and/or comments that might be of interest to others in the class, use either of these forums. I'm not sure which forum will be more effective, or easier to use. Try them both, and we will allow the usual rules of evolution to act (survival of the fittest).

To subscribe or unsubscribe to the Bulletin Board click. You can view the archive of these emails. You can post information there by sending email to

I'm not sure that this is working 100% correctly yet. If you see any bugs, let me know.
I have also set up a newsgroup "uwash.public.class.math513" for this class. You can participate in this newsgroup as in any other. Using Pine, the remote mailbox specification for an off-campus user is {staff.washington.edu/nntp}uwash.public.class.math513 Click here
I have an idea that one should be able to go directly from this page to the newsgroup by clicking on the appropriate URL, say news://staff.washington.edu/uwash.public.class.math513 or news://students.washington.edu/uwash.public.class.math513. But I haven't figured this out!
