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.

COMMENT TO INTRUDUCE SELF: Primary Mathematics

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

Susan walks into the room, takes a seat in the back of the class, towards the wall, and seems to promptly vanish into the background.

Caroline looks around slightly confused I was sure I just saw someone come in...

"I'm really sure you didn't," Susan replies from nowhere.

Caroline jumps and blinks several times This school does nothing for my mental health. she replies looking back to her laptop and shaking her head.

*one MacManus brother enters the room, taking a seat and staking out the one next to it for his twin*

Chihaya slips in, juggling his book, notebook, pencils and pens and drops into the nearest desk. He looks around expectantly at those already there and with a beaming smile, opens his book and starts to read the first chapter.

Elizabeth sits down at one of the desks and looks up, nervously

Hello?

Am I late? Couldn't find the place...

She looks up at him and shakes her head.

I don't believe so.

That's too bad - the first day's always like a freebie, you know?

shakes head and digs through bookbag

Hey, got a pencil I can borrow?

This is my first time taking formal classes, so I wouldn't know.

She digs through her bag and takes out a quill

Is a quill all right? It's all I have.

oh, you're one of those home-schooled kids, huh?

looks at quill and tries not to laugh

I've never written with a feather before... I'll just see if somebody else has a pencil. Thanks though. Oh, I'm Wallace, by the way.

I guess you could say that.

She smiled and nodded. Apparently you're not the only one. I did not know there was an alternative to the quill. I'm Elizabeth.
