Assigned By: Fry, Todd | The first math assignment was passed out today. It is due back on Thursday, Sept 26. Students are to work on it at home.

But this must happen before Wednesday so that I have time to get it back to them.
As always, math assignments are posted to my webpage in case students misplace their copy.
