    Computer Accounts
    All students should already have computer accounts on the servers maintained by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. These accounts provide access to the computers in Rooms C-2003 and C-2004 of the Chemistry Building, Room EN-2036 of the Engineering Building, as well as Room HH-3030/3056 of the Henrietta Harvey Building. If your account is misconfigured, consult with Hart Dwayne in HH-2003, phone 737-2324.

    All accounts should have been credited with 50 free pages of paper. Subsequent pages will have to be purchased (follow the instructions on the course website).
