Here it comes, our tri-annual message on CTL Workshops:
If you think a Cartesian coordinate is a what you wear to go with your favorite sweater, it might be time for you to bone up on your quantitative skills. And, right on cue, the CTL if offering a series of quantitative workshops — 90 minutes to a better, more quantitatively adept you. The topics are basic algebra, graphs, and word problems, and there are two chances for each.
Workshops are in Briggs 420 and run 60 minutes.
