For information on my courses for the spring, 2012, semester:

The complete schedules of intersession and spring, 2012, courses at the Madison Campus are now available at our Coursefinder at the FDU main page.

For information on my courses for the summer sessions, 2012:

  • ... under construction
The schedule of summer session courses for 2012 at the Madison Campus is not yet available.

To the Madison Campus ...

from N, S, E, or W, click here. NJ Transit provides MidTOWN Direct rail service between Madison Station and Penn Station, NY. Times here are current as of Jan. 2, 2012. MTA Subways from Penn Station can get you uptown to the theatre district very easily. Information about the entire NYC Transit system, including maps, stations, schedules, and fares, is here.

For data about the elements...

visit the WebElements (see button below) site. This is Mark Winter's (Univ. of Sheffield) award-winning on-line Periodic Table of the Elements and is particularly useful because it is one of the few sources of the CORRECT version of the modern Periodic Table. For links to other useful chemistry sites, click here!

might be interested in the vast amount of legitimate science surrounding the "global warming" or "climate change" doomsday debate. The science comes out uniformly against any likely human influence and especially against any adverse effect of carbon dioxide. Here are a few links that point to major assemblies of data and scientific papers regarding AGW. First are 850 papers at PopularTechnology.net and the massive NIPCC report. If you want to do your own research almost all raw climatic data is here. Recent news is at ICECAP and ClimateAudit is Steve McIntyre's excellent blog, which, since ClimateGate, has become the central focus of the science. Finally, the complete (zipped) ClimateGate download is available here.
