Welcome to the new school year!

You did a marvelous job of spinning pennies today. Can you think of ways to minimize the outside influences on the results of the spin? How could you make the results dependent only on the fairness of the coin--well, as much as possible?

Your homework can be found on Classhomework.com.

Some of our classmates have reported that the composition notebooks are sold out of local stores. Don't panic. We won't do our first write-up for at least another week.

Also, don't rush out to buy a study guide or a new calculator. The new edition of the Barron's guide will be released in September. TI will be releasing the new calculator, the TI-Inspire in September as well. There is no sense in spending money on last-year's model.

We will issue textbooks when we finally need them. We will do some more investigations (labs) in class before we use the text.

When you (eventually) need to retrieve a document from the HW website, the password that you will use is lassitermath.
