assignment will be put on the Homework page

9/24/09. I have
created a discussion board for the class located at
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/gopost/board/ezivot/2532/
. Use the board to interact with me and others in the class.
9/24/09. I
encourage everyone to subscribe to the WSJ for the quarter. Special
student subscriptions are available (print and online for about $14).
Here is the subscription link.
9/24/09.
For those needing the solver, here is the zipped folder:
solver.zip. Unzip the folder and put it in
the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Library. This
version is known to work for Office XP.
9/24/09. If you are not
familiar with Excel, I suggest you purchase an Excel user's guide from
your favorite bookstore. Here are some suggested books that focus on
data analysis using Excel (which is not very well documented in the
usual Excel guides or online help files): Data Analysis Using
Microsoft Excel, Third Edition, by Michael R. Middleton, Duxbury
Press; Data Analysis with Microsoft Excel, by Berk & Carey,
Duxbury Press.
9/24/09. William Sharpe, at
Stanford's School of Business, (recent winner of the Nobel Prize in
Economics) has a great set of web
notes very closely related to this course.
