Math 219 -01, -02, -03,
You will soon (if not already) receive an email from Gradescope
indicating that you have been added to the site that we will use
for homework submissions this semester.
Please be sure that you have read the details about homework
submissions to Gradescope on the class website / Exams and
Homeworks.
Reminder, HW-01 will be due this coming Sun Jan 21, and should be
created on Gradescope later today after the assignment is entirely
determined. As is indicated on the class website / Class
Schedule, the exercises to be submitted will definitely include
1.6 (from last Wed), 1.1 and 1.2 (from last Fri), and will
probably also include 1.3 (which I expect to finish and add to the
appropriate cell of the Class Schedule this afternoon).
Reminder, what you will submit to Gradescope for HW-01 then will
be your solutions to all of the exercises listed on the Content
Syllabus for those sections. (NB that this DOES include the
"AHP" exercises.)
As is noted in the Comments / Reminders column for today on the
Class Schedule, you should have most if not all of 1.6, 1.1, and
1.2 done already, and (assuming that we finish 1.3 today as
expected) should ideally have most of 1.3 done by the end of today
leaving only those exercises on which you will need to seek help
(course website / Course Resources). Reminder, I urge you to
keep up with this general schedule of doing homework exercises as
we complete sections as indicated on the Class Schedule, as this
will best help you to keep fully up to date in the material, which
will help you get the most possible benefit from lectures, and
will also avoid big backlogs of exercises to be done just before
the due dates.

Math 219, Sections -01, -02, -03
Welcome to Math 219! I look forward to working with you in
the coming semester.
Here are some announcements:
- Here's where you can find the website for this
class:
https://services.math.duke.edu/~cbray/TermSpring/MyClass.html
I strongly advise you to bookmark this page,
as it contains lots of information critical to the course
that I expect you will need to refer to almost daily.
Be sure to explore the site thoroughly and also the
linked course website, read all of the
discussions there, and familiarize yourself with the various
links and such.
- I have just made a recording, talking through some
organizational points for the class. This recording
includes discussions of logistics, course content, learning
goals, and the intended learning strategy for
students. All of this is very important! Be sure
to watch this recording carefully, before the
start of the term.
To find this recording (and all future lecture recordings
for this class!), go to the class website linked above,
click on "YouTube Recordings", then "Playlists", and then
"View full playlist" corresponding to this offering of this
class.
- You will find the lecture notes for my classes on the
class website / Class Materials. These are the notes
that I will use in class on the projector screen. In
that same location you will also find the outline of the
organizational lecture, and a diagram that we will make use
of later in the term. I may post additional materials
there through the term.
- Homeworks in this course will be submitted through
Gradescope, linked on the class website. I have not
yet made the Gradescope site for homeworks; probably I will
wait until after the start of the term by which time the
roster might be more settled. There will eventually
also be a separate Gradescope site for the midterm
exams.
See you in a few days!
Best,
Clark Bray
