    I sent out e-mails yesterday evening to the e-mail address I currently have for you. These contained your grade on the second homework and comments as appropriate. Several e-mails were returned as undeliverable for a variety of reasons. If you did not receive an e-mail with your grade on the second homework, please send me an e-mail requesting it. I will update your address and get the score to you. Thanks

February 2, 1999
  • I have added several items to those that can be downloaded from this site. To obtain them, click on "Download Material" to the left.
  • The new link titled "Notes" contains references to material covered in class. Right now, this is several links to other pages that cover some of the fundamentals of number systmes other than the decimal system. This too will grow over time. 
  • Replacement CDs have arrived. If you purchased the text prior to February 1, 1999, the CD that accompanied it was incomplete. It did not contain the data files that accompany the text. You can pick up a replacement CD by visiting the Customer Service Center in room A402 Business Administration. (Click here to see the hours it is open.) You should bring an empty sleeve or CD case to put the replacement CD in as we do not have them. There is no charge for this CD. And, it's "first come/first serve."

  • Because of the snafu with the textbook, the first quiz will be postponed until Thursday February 11. Please accept my apologies should this cause you any inconvenience. But, I do not see any reasonable alternative since so many of you do not have a text to refer to.

If you can answer yes to the following 3 questions, you may be entitled to a partial refund:
  1. Did you buy your text at DuBois?

If the answer is yes to all 3, DuBois should give you a partial refund.

  • I have placed a page on the web showing grades as of January 22 after I looked at homework 1.

This section of the home page for ADMS 34032 will be used to convey announcements such as the availability of homework assignments, quiz dates, etc.

You should check this page twice a week. I will assume that you are aware of any announcement that has been posted for 3 days.
