Zoom Videos

For yet undetermined reasons, the recording from last week's class failed, and Zoom did not send it to me. It should have recorded because all the parameters were checked, so I'm looking into the whys and hows of what happened. As an alternative, I've posted the first class video of the spring semester which has essentially the same content. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully I will have resolved this issue by the August 31 class.
