how to use this space
This is a wiki in which every one of you is an editor and contributor. We are using it to collect resources and develop ideas and content – material that can have a life beyond our class and be useful to you in the years to come. I am still updating this material and sorting out whether to migrate to sloanpoint – more on that later. (So please ignore the older material)
For meetings with Prof and TA
