survey of college math - early days

[anotheranon]

Started on my first homework assignment, linear functions.

Impressions so far: some technical struggles with the school's online learning site, but these are mostly resolved. Class materials are undermined by serious Powerpoint abuse (blinking/scrolling text, silly clip art, oh my!) but stripped of the fluff, are useful. Also rather pleased with the book thus far, as all formulas are highlighted and I can check my own work in the back.

I feared I was going to have to drop more $ on a graphing calculator, but luckily there are lots of freeware TI-83etc emulators out there :)

I know I'll have to work, but I'm not terrified (yet?) I was shaking so hard in my boots when I first started this whole continuing education thing, but I think.. despite myself.. that I'm getting the hang of it. Unless some truly unexpected material is thrown at me, I think I'll do ok :)

Feeling kinda unusual this evening - mostly good but unexplained fits of sneezing (??)

Does it have to be a TI-83, or would a TI-85 do ya? I need it back in a few weeks (I might actually have to crunch some numbers for my dissertation), but I have one sitting around. Could hand it off to you for awhile. :) --nice excuse for socialness too. *bounce*

Scheduling drama on my part. as usual. I'll try to get back to you on that other email ASAP.

I might be able to help w/ the studying as well. As long as it doesn't go past Calculus 2.

Sounds great! I have a few guesses as to who this is, but... who is this?
