TO: Some nice person at BTL Holmdel NJ HELP, I could use some help in my math course at Stevens this semester. If you would like to offer some assistance it would certainly be appreciated. ** NOTE - Most of the topics below are familiar to me. The course is heavy in proofs and the book is hard to understand. If you have had Graduate level experience in these topics and have an hour or two per week that you could spare, please call me or send me mail.
