Put onto your World-Wide Web home page a graphic that you created personally.
Your CalcLab account will probably go away at the end of
the semester. Move your home page to a more permanent
location. For those of you who are graduate students in
the Mathematics Department, you just need to copy your
index.html
file over to the
public_html
directory in your account on the
main mathematics server. You can do this easily by using
``drag and drop'' with the xdir
program, or
by using the ftp
program, or by using
emacs
.
If you do not have an account on the main mathematics
server, you can install your home page on the university's
general access machine tam2000
. There are
instructions about how
to set up a home page on tam2000.
It helps people to find you if you make a dummy home page that points to your real one. For example, I have a dummy page both on CalcLab and on tam2000.
Your Project A for the
semester is your home page. If your page is now ready for
visitors, post a
message to tamu.classes.math696
inviting spectators and stating the URL. (If your page
lives on the main
mathematics server, then the URL will be
/~
YourLogonName/
or
/~
FirstName.LastName/.)
Your Project B for the semester is to create your own Maple lab. It is time to get working on this project. Look through the Maple help browser and pick out a topic. Come to class prepared to stand up and state what your topic is, why it is interesting, and what preliminary ideas you have for presenting it in a lab.
