I think it is a good idea for each of you to communicate with several other students in the class. It is obviously useful to have other students help you when you have questions. Most people find that it is also useful to teach others something as well, because you gain new insights into the material as you develop an explanation. Some of the class activities are designed with this in mind.

If you want to talk with someone outside of class, I encourage you to exchange email addresses.

You are free to email me directly or talk with me during my office hours, of course.

If you need my immediate attention through email, please send the message to BOTH parker@math.utexas.edu and mary.mparker@gmail.com
