All students on my class list should receive an email from Piazza asking them to sign up for our class discussion page. If you have only just enrolled, or for some reason failed to receive the email, you can sign up by visiting the signup page https://piazza.com/cornell/fall2013/math3210.

Announcements for Math 3210 will be posted in blog format on this home page. Course information can be found through the links at the top. Please familiarize yourself with the general information on the Info page.
The first homework will be due Wednesday 4 September.
I have created a page for Math 3210 on the Piazza class management system. You can post homework questions there and answer other students' questions. I and the TA will also contribute from time to time. On the first day of classes I will enroll the entire class, upon which you will receive a welcome email inviting you to activate your account. There will be two rules:
- We will not answer homework questions by email. Please post them on Piazza or come to office hours.
- Don't post complete solutions to any homework problems.
