Hi, I’m Hugh. Welcome to MATH113, Introduction To Abstract Algebra. I will serve as your GSI for all lecture sections, along with Svala Sverrisdottir. There will be no regular discussion or tutorial sections, but we will be holding regular weekly office hours.

My Office Hours

Notes

  • Hours marked as “office” will take place in my office at 737 Evans Hall.
  • Those marked as “courtyard” will take place in the outdoor courtyard on the 9th floor of Evans Hall, weather permitting. I encourage you to bring your lunch and your friends and enjoy this as a more casual setting to engage with the class material.
  • Those marked as “remote” will take place over Zoom. Please check your course syllabus for the join link.
  • Please be aware that during in-person office hours, I will be accompanied by my guide dog, Otter. If the presence of a dog is an issue for you, then I encourage you to take advantage of the remote hours. If that doesn’t work for you and you absolutely need to talk to me in person, then let me know and I will try to arrange to meet you without her.
  • Please do not interact with Otter unless you ask me first, as she is a working dog. Do not, under any circumstance, give her food.
