| Announcements
Sept. 25, 2008 - The Dean of Newcomb - Tulane College has announced that Saturday, October 18 will be a make-up day to make up for one of the Tuesday/Thursday classes missed due to the evacuation for Hurricane Gustav. EENS-211 will take advantage of this make-up day and I have revised the syllabus to take account of both the make up day and the missed classed. The Syllabus links at the top of this page now link to the revised version of the syllabus. I suggest that you print the PDF version of the revised syllabus by clicking here. Sept. 6, 2008 - I hope the evacuation and the storm has not significantly affected your well-being. EENS 211 will resume on Tuesday, Sept. 9 and, at least for now, we will follow the syllabus topics and labs in the order originally laid out. After the university decides how we will deal with the missed week of classes, I will post a new syllabus. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday. August 28, 2008 - For this course you will need to know the chemical formula of the common minerals as listed HERE. I recommend you print the PDF version of this file and get started right away.

| Lecture Notes Note: Two versions of each set of lecture notes are shown in the table below. The first is in html format, optimized for viewing on the Web at screen resolutions greater than 800x600. You can print this version directly from your Web browser, but there is no guarantee that the pages will break where they are supposed to, since each person's browser can be set up differently (margins, fonts, font sizes, etc.). The PDF (Portable Document Format) versions of the lecture notes are optimized for printing. All page breaks should occur correctly. If your web browser has the proper plug-in installed, clicking on the PDF will bring the file into your web browser from which you can then print the notes. If the plug-ins are not installed, your web browser will either attempt to download the PDF files or offer to send you to the Adobe web site to download the plug-ins for your browser. If you choose to download the PDF format lecture notes you will still need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the files. This and further information about the browser plug-ins can be obtained by clicking on the icon below. Note for Netscape Users - Netscape versions 6 and 7 do not display the symbol font used in many of these documents. If you don't see the following characters as Greek letters alpha and beta - a b , then your browser has this problem. If you are using Netscape versions 6 or 7, either see the following web site to modify your Netscape Browser so that it displays the symbol font correctly http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~osborne/MathTutorial/SYMFIX.HTM or, view the PDF versions of the files which will always display all fonts correctly. |
Note: Only documents with a * have been updated for the Fall 2008 semester
