Before we hit the math, you need to get familar with our distance classroom.
This will take some time. Communicating here is not like you have experienced in any of your other
math course. You will need to be deliberate about it until it becomes a habit.
Send Lee an email (lee@socrates.math.ohio-state.edu).
