Announcements:

• The Putnam Competition is right around the corner!  It will be held this Saturday, December 3, from 9am to 5pm, with a two hour break for lunch in the middle.  Plan to be in the ``Fishbowl'' (MMS 140) by 8:45am, to fill out some paperwork and go over the ``rules.''  I'll see you there!
