Like almost everyone whose Erdös Number is not 0 or 1, my Erdös Number is 2. Members of our faculty with Erdös Number 1 are: Al Goodman, Vilmos Totik, and Stephen Suen.

Students who have trouble understanding mathematics may take comfort in the following remark ofJohn von Neuman:

Help yourself to thepostscript file or pdf file of my book ELEMENTARY ABSTRACT ALGEBRA. Also you may have the latex file in case you want to revise it to suit your own taste. I ask only that you acknowledge the source and make no commercial use of it. . This version is one-sided, but may be converted to two-sided by the appropriate printer or by a photocopy machine.

I ask only that you acknowledge the source and make no commercial use of it. This version is one-sided, but may be converted to two-sided by the appropriate printer or by a photocopy machine. The following Maple worksheets were used also when I taught the course:

(To use these worksheets you must have a copy of Maple on your computer. Maple x for x >= 7 should work.)
