* [17 Feb 5:37pm] IMPORTANT - I must apologize to all of you concerning the big hiccup about the tutorial signup arrangement. I have originally scheduled the tutorial signup sheet to be released at 11am today. But for some reason Web CT fails to execute that instruction. Unfortunately, due to a family medical emergency, I was at the hospital all day and did not have access to the internet and fail to realize that there was a problem. I sincerely apologize to all of you who have been waiting patiently for the signup sheet. New arrangement: I shall personally make sure that the signup sheet will appear online in Web CT beginning ''10pm Friday 23 Feb''. Should there be any changes I shall make further announcements on this page. Again, I am terribly sorry for the problem, and I shall explain more about this hiccup in the next lecture.

Should there be any changes I shall make further announcements on this page. Again, I am terribly sorry for the problem, and I shall explain more about this hiccup in the next lecture.
