MAT 103 labs, Fall 2001
The development of this page parallels the teaching of the SYMMETRIES
course (MAT 103) at SUNY Oswego during the Fall 2001 semester, as shaped
after Margaret Groman's introduction of MAT 103 in 1992 and my own ten
consecutive semesters of MAT 103 teaching prior to a 2000-2001 sabbatical
leave (during which the MAT 103 textbook was essentially completed). The
labs posted in this page are not copyrighted and may be freely reproduced
and used at will, mentioning their origin if appropriate. The numbers in
brackets represent the sections from Isometrica related to each lab.
