You can use ISI Web of Science to find a journal article. A link to ISI Web of Science is on the Links page of this website.
If you need help using ISI Web of Science, please email me or stop by during my office hours.

NOTE regarding MatLab: Matlab is installed on all the computers in the Ayres computer lab (Ayres 15). It may be installed elsewhere on campus, but it probably is not. If you want to use Matlab on your home computer, you can purchase a student copy of it from the Computer Store in the UC. (It costs about $100.) There is a Freeware version of Matlab called Octave (http://www.octave.org/) that is available for most operating systems and which runs most Matlab commands. If you want to have a program similar to Matlab on your personal computer (without having to pay for it), this is one option.

Project #1 - Due: Tuesday, January 17, 2006
Using the word processor of your choice, write a paragraph describing the area of life sciences that interests you the most and why. Include why you are signed up for Math for the Life Sciences I (MATH 151) instead of Calculus I (Math 141) and specify your major.
