Thank you to the few students who showed for classes, and I will expect the rest of you who have now signed up to be present at all future classes. I understand there have been scheduling problems and that many were no aware of the fact that there were mathematics courses. In class today all we did was review the syllabus and share names and interests in the field.

Could those students who showed today please repeat themselves under the appropriate comment section, as well as all new students. Fortunately, enough students have signed up that ALL classes will in fact be continuing in the future (although if anyone is interested in Advanced Theory: Literature and Art, I would greatly encourage you to join).

Class-specific syllabi will be passed out later in the week. For these first three days, all I require of you is to get familiar with each other, as in some cases they are very small classes and you will all be working together for the rest of the year. Also that the Advanced Theory classes begin their reading assignments for the next two weeks, which will be listed below.

Please check that you are registered for the appropriate class(es). Comment in the appropriate comment-section:

I will be accepting new students until end of school (4:30 PM EST) on Friday. Advanced Theory classes are limited to 10 students, Primary and Secondary to 15.

In addition, I would like those in Origins to brainstorm about what they know about the origins of mathematics, in the dimension of their choice, and Literature and Art to start reading the preface and first section of Flatland for our introductory piece of literature in mathematics -- we may or may not continue with this in the future.

Finally, please review the general syllabus if you haven't already.

Sir Nadir Khan

COMMENT TO ADD/DROP/CHANGE MATHEMATICS COURSES

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

My apologies, Professor, but while I would like to register for the Advanced Theory: Literature and Art class, I have been unable to determine the times at which the class would meet. Could you please correct my ignorance?

COMMENT TO INTRUDUCE SELF: Primary Mathematics

[caroline-todd.livejournal.com]

Caroline walks in and leans against the table. Looking around she puts her laptop down.
"Morning Sir" she almost manages to sound awake.

COMMENT TO INTRUDUCE SELF: Secondary Mathematics

[lauraholt.livejournal.com]

*looks around and takes seat*

Looks like I'm only first one here.

*gets out books*

COMMENT TO INTRUDUCE SELF: Advanced Theory: Origins

[macanaut.livejournal.com]

Mac walks into the class and takes a seat. "Hi, I'm Mac," she said with a little wave. "As for math, I guess it originated in accounting and economics. How many sheep do we have and how much can we get for them?"

COMMENT TO INTRUDUCE SELF: Advanced Theory: Literature and Art

[caroline-todd.livejournal.com]

Caroline finds a chairHi, I'm Caroline, Todd. she looks around Uhm. Is anyone still looking for a partner?

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to sign up, but I would love to apply for Advanced Theory: Literature and Art. Thank you for your time.

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

Thank you for joining the class. [OOC: In the future, click "Read Comments" first and then leave a comment under the section that fits what you are commenting about, don't worry about it this time though.]

[valehero.livejournal.com]

(OOC: A quick note, and I hate to bring this up, but I won't be able to actually post during the class times, and was wondering if posts could be slow-timed?)

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Perfectly all right, they will be, especially since I simply won't be able to POST the lessons every day until later unless I can figure out how LJ can work to my whims]

[lady-jessica-bg.livejournal.com]

Just because we get to read Flatland, I want to sign up for Lit and Art (ooc: no, seriously, I've been trying for months for an excuse to read it).

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

I hope you will enjoy the class as a whole.

[OOC: It's a great piece, I just have to figure out whether students will actually be reading the entire thing and if so how much time to give the class -- this applies to all of what we will be reading.]

[fates_jaye]

I could sign up for Lit and Art, if there are still spots left.

*looks around* What, I'm smart! I've already been accepted to Brown! Sheesh.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

*stands at attention before Professor Nadir*

Sir, I should like to sign up for secondary mathematics, if you please.

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

I'd like to sign up for primary methematics, please. Although I'm familiar with subject already, it wouldn't hurt to practice my geometry skills.

[other-logan.livejournal.com]

Advanced Theory: Lit and Art, please

[names-cotton.livejournal.com]

*a skinny teenage walks into the room with a parrot on his sholder*

*drops a grubby note on the teacher's desk*

The note says: "1 + 1" and "starter cipherin please"

The parrot squawks "Permission to come aboard"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

I suppose I should be learnin' about countin' me treasure, should I ever me amassin' enough to need to use more than just me hands.

Primary mathematics for me, if ye don't mind.

[names-cotton.livejournal.com]

*the boy eyes Barbossa*

His parrot starts growling low and menacing, though ruined the effect by bobbing up and down letting out a high pitch laugh.

Then he begins to sing "Yo ho, yo ho. A pirate's life for me!"

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Chewie says I gotta do primary mathematics.

If you'd be so good as to sign me up, Doc?

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

You are signed up. Note though that I will not tolerate being called "Doc" during class hours.

[cerulean--eyes.livejournal.com]

Primary Math, please

[moonstruck-yuki.livejournal.com]

*bows* My name is Yukito Tsukishiro. I've only just arrived, but I understand there's still room left in the Advanced Theory: Literature and Art course?

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

That is correct, and you are now a part of the class, Mr. Yukito Tsukishiro. Thank you for your respects.

[rygelxvi.livejournal.com]

Advanced Theory: Literature and Art if you please.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Primary Math for me, sir.

[joolushko-tunai.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested in both Advanced Theory: Origins and Advanced Theory: Literature and Art in that would be possible, sir.

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

That is possible, but as with all students who are doubling in the Advanced Theory courses, I will advise you to be sure that you get some dinner between classes, and you are REQUIRED to have a study partner.

[river-dancing.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I'd made my request before, but I guess it got lost in the shuffle. I would like to sign up for your Secondary Math class.

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

I do apologize, I forgot to add you to both that and Advanced Theory: Origins. You are on the roster, now.

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka Valentine. Primary Maths. *afterthought* Please.

[river-dancing.livejournal.com]

Er... sir? My name is on the Secondary Mathematics list twice. Will I have to do the work multiple times?

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

I just can't seem to get your sign ups straightened out properly, Miss River. It would appear that I had signed you up upon your intial request, and we both missed it on the roster.

No, you will not have to complete double the work. You are now only signed up once.

[cool-bobby.livejournal.com]

Let's see...is Primary Mathmatics still open?

[thepersiannadir.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. [OOC: *adds to roster*]

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Charlie Kawalsky here for Secondary Math. Running behind, as usual. Late homework will be in soon. I know it's late, but I like to get stuff done How do you think I got into the Air Force? My good looks?
