Math 402 Journal Assignments, Spring 2008

There will be journal questions due in class most Mondays and Fridays. They will be assigned the previous class, and are available on-line here. The journal entries are exploratory; we do not expect that the mathematics will always be completely correct. However, your writing should show some significant thought on the question. Allow about an hour for each journal entry; this includes thinking and writing. The journals are informal writing, but the entries must be legible and the meaning intelligible. Focus on communicating your ideas! However, don't worry; if you do all the journals and make an honest effort to do them well, you will do well in this component of the class. Your journal should be in a Mead composition book, and be kept separate from you class notes. Each journal should begin on a new page. At the top of the page, put the number of the journal assignment and the date the it is due (not assigned). In general, journal entries should be 1 to 2 pages in length.
 
The assignments will be posted here as they are available.
