• 9/8/10: I encourage you to go to the first Math for Everyone talk titled Sudoku: questions variations and research (click for more info) next Thursday Sept 16 at 5 PM in HH 117.  If curiosity alone doesn't sufficiently motivate you to attend, then please note that a) there's free pizza afterward, and b) if you turn a one paragraph summary in to me, I'll give you credit for a quiz or hwk.  So there.
