Dear Mathematical Enthusiasts Helping me (and all of us) learn each others' names, (and to help my memory for a future LOR [letter-of-recommendation]) I will take class photos --for those who wish-- on Friday, 01Sep2023 so that we can all learn our colleagues' names. If you would like to be photoed [is that a word?] then please Prepare a large white card (or sheet of white paper) [or an image on your tablet; a cell-phone screen is too small] on which your name is written in LARGE (maybe 3 inches high), THICK, *BLACK* (blue doesn't photograph well) letters. It might look like ###### # # # # ##### ##### ## # # # # # # # # # # ###### # # ##### ##### # # # # # # # # # # ###### # # # # # # # # # # ###### #### ##### ##### # # # # # # # # ##### # # ###### ##### #### ##### #### #### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ## # # # # # # ###### ##### # # #### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##### # ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ## ## ## # # # # ###### # # #### # #### #### # # ##### # # ####### ####### ####### # ##### # ##### # # ## # # # # # ## # # ## # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##### # # # ##### ###### ###### ###### ##### # ##### # ##### # # ####### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##### ##### # ##### ##### ##### ##### ####### ##### ####### with whatever you want your classmates and me to call you. Please put at least the first three letters of of your surname (your last name). E.g, if you are "David Lastnamekowsky", at least put "David Las." on your card. It is also fine if you put your surname first, followed by given name, if that is your preference. If you are willing you may put your phone number (which helps form study groups, and for team take-home examx). By "your name" I mean "what you want us to call you". So if your name is Silvia Rachel Brumehilda Witherspoon Jr. the Third, but... you /really/ want to be called (you guessed it) "Bubba", then write something like Bubba Wit. 314-555-1212 on the sheet, since your surname is Witherspoon. ================================================================ ... By the way, you can make your name a*r*t*i*s*t*i*c as long as it is readable. E.g ##### ## / / ##### / ## ### ###### /## #/ #/ ###### / ##### ### # /# / / ## ## ## /# / / ##### ### ### # / / / ## ## ## / / ## # ## ## # ## / / / ## ## / ### # ## ## ## ## / ## #### ## /### ## /### /### ## ## # ## ### ######## ## ## / ## ### / ##/ ### / ##/ ### / / ### / ## ## # ## ### ######## ## ##/ ## ###/ ## ###/ ## ###/ / ###/ ## ## # ## ## ## ## ## ### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## # ## ## ## ## ## ### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## # ## ## ## # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## # ## ## ## / ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## # # / ## ## /##/ ### ## /# ## /# ## /# ## /# ### /## / ## ## # / ######## ######/ ## ####/ ####/ ####/ ## #######/ #######/ ### / ## ### / #### ##### ## ### ### ### ## #### #### ##/ ## # # ## ______ __ __ ____ ____ _ _ |_ _ \ [ | [ | |_ _| |_ _|(_) / |_ | |_) | __ _ | |.--. | |.--. ,--. \ \ /\ / / __ `| |-' | __'.[ | | | | '/'`\ \| '/'`\ \`'_\ : \ \/ \/ / [ | | | _| |__) || \_/ |, | \__/ || \__/ |// | |, \ /\ / | | | |, _ |_______/ '.__.'_/[__;.__.'[__;.__.' \'-;__/ \/ \/ [___]\__/(_) ... .. .. .. ... . ... . s .=*8888x <"?88h. . uW8" . uW8" .~`"888x.!**h.-``888h. @88> :8 X> '8888H> '8888 x. . `t888 `t888 dX `8888 :X 48888> %8P .88 '88h. `8888 8888 .@88k z88u 8888 . 8888 . u '888x 8888 X88.
