Count me in! I can help folks do math (ritmatik, prealg, alg, intemediate alg, college alg). I consider it pure joy! Also grading in the company of others would be fun, less lonely. When? Due to too many work hours ;( just at night, except Fri-Sun, when I can join the math group almost anytime. :)

Yesterday Chris took Timmy on a little outing. They went to the DM Pima office to pay for my class and then to the book store at the east campus. He came home with three pounds worth of book and study guide.
It's not like I haven't realized what exactly it is that I'm getting ready to do. It's just that now I have tangible proof - there's a book in my house and in six months time I will understand these now very mysterious looking equations. (At least that's what I tell myself to fight the scary feeling...)
SuKay approached me with the question of timing for a math study group.

Okay I now break this week of silence on the subject of "math support group." I guess we'll just wait and see when school starts, where and when to meet.
Saturday nights work for me at either Dunkin Donuts or Coffee X Change. Mike used to meet me at Dunkin Donuts for math tutoring.
The International House of P4NC4KES is another place that's open 24 hours. Rod and I recently met there at 4:30am, but not really about math stuff except maybe my problem of remembering only n - 1 things in a list of n things.
