Furthermore, it is expected that the lab reports are presentable and are written in complete and grammatically correct English sentences. Consequently, typing mathematics is necessary. Microsoft Word, which is available on the OIT IBM PC public computer cluster machines, is adequate for the purposes of preparing the final lab report. Alternatively, you may use LATEX to typeset your paper. It is available on the OIT UNIX public computer cluster machines.
However, if you own a calculator other than the TI-83 which conforms to the calculator specifications outlined on pages 85 to 90 of the Duke Laboratory Calculus Coursepack, and you are proficient with it, then you are certainly welcome and encouraged to use it in the lab.
The hours of operation are available from the first-year calculus web site.
If you need extra help, please stop by the Help Room first. I will be available there on Tuesdays from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. Judy will be available on Wednesdays from 5:00pm to 6:00pm.
However, if you are around the Physics Building, or if your questions are not satisfactorily answered in the Help Room, feel free to stop by my office. Alternatively, if you would like to schedule an appointment, then just e-mail me.
