Announcements

• Weekly assignments are due by Sunday at 5 pm. Turn it in via email to me. I'll return a file, with some notes, and put your grade in Bb.
• Don't forget Assignment #7, which is not due until May 6. This is the assignment where you use latex to complete an assignment from another class, to show how you will use latex in your "regular" life. The details are in the Week 7 materials, sent to you on March 8.
