Welcome to another term - the economy may be sputtering, but Mathematics and Computer Science motors on. It is hard for a Canadian not to be delighted by a cold snowy day like we had on Thursday. I trust a harbinger for good things to come this term! Unfortunately, there are a few worries to occupy our minds, but I will get to them in a bit.
First, we will have our usual opening day faculty meeting, but this time we really do have some business to take care of.
We have hired Allen Bryant, who many of you may know from one of his earlier incarnations as a graduate student, ACF, or undergraduate (second BS in Computer Science), to teach the courses Bert Reed had on her schedule before she made her retirement decision. He will be in the center tower with Karim, Chad, and Clay for the spring.
I am sure most of you read the President's email about the budget situation and many of you will have been following the discussions on the UPI listserve. This is clearly a fluid process. I will give you the best update I can on Monday (today).
There are new classroom computers in the OM 3110, 3010, and 3030. Let me know if you need a hand getting used to them or if they don't have software you need. If you plan on using them, you might check them out before your first class.
Happy New Year to all.
