Lay's webpage (see public course homepage) has some MATLAB case studies, projects including one on Hill ciphers. This is useful to look at probably, although just concerned with coding/decoding with known A (he always chooses b=0). Also some guidelines on working with MATLAB.

The Math Department is setting a weekly puzzle question. Each Monday, the question is posted outside the Math Main Office, Carver 396. No cash prizes, just a certificate for the first correct solution each week. But the problems are nice and you could certainly have a go at them. Complete Contest rules are also posted outside Carver 396.

Make sure to label all your assignments with the title (eg HW#1) and your name. Start each assignment on a new page. Read the preface of the textbook about certain problems, where the answer is in the back of the book.
WebCT is a tool for publishing your grades with statistics like average, max/min, plus model solutions. Will be set up later this week.
Consulting Hours are the times when you can come to my office to see me in person. If the door is shut, please knock!
If you believe that you have a disability that qualifies under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and requires accommodations, you should contact the Disability Resources (DR) office for information on appropriate policies and procedures. DR is located on the main floor of the Student Services Building, Room 1076; their phone is 515-294-6624. The next step is to see me. I am happy to assist with accommodations, but I will not provide them retroactively (so get it done before the first exam!).
