Hall of Honor

No web site or text book is without errors. None can cover all the topics that teachers and students are interested in. I have established this Hall of Honor to recognize those who have helped in two different ways.

The Eagle Eye award is for those who paid close attention and took the time to report errors of fact and errors of editing. (Don't you just hate it when your fingers do their own thing and you just don't notice?)

The Super Suggestion award is for those who had ideas for updating or enhancing the materials.
