Also, see the useful links page. In order to allow annotation, I have not placed the links in the tabular format used above for class materials. It adds new material relevant to weekly topics, but many of the early listed links remain relevant but are not repeated, so please revisit them frequently.
You may use any approach to do the weekly word problems. As of AY10-11, UMaine students have access to Mathematica and may download it onto their computers by visiting the UMaine IT website. A free tutorial is available at http://url.wolfram.com/5oLdjC/.
