Add Code Information for Fall 2018:

For MW Math 10 and Math 150A classes: I do not give out add codes before the second day of classes. If you are not able to get a seat but wish to add one of my sections, you may attend the first and second day. If there are not enough seats for those wishing to add, I will randomly choose from those who attend both days and who meet the prerequisite for the class. I am often able to add two or three students to each section.

For TTh classes:  Please check with Mr. Ichikawa (Math 150A, section 1126, michikawa@santarosa.edu, TTh 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM class) or Mr. Gaye (Math 150A, section 0838, egaye@santarosa.edu, TTh 3:00 - 4:30 PM class) as to their add code policies.  I will not be teaching the TTh classes.
