TA office hours this week moved to Monday after Thanksgiving

Dear Class,
Our dedicated TAs have decided to move their office hours from this Wednesday (when many of you will be leaving town and the complexity of cooking will be uppermost on your mind) to Monday November 28, the day before Problem Set 5 is due.  My office hours will remain on Tuesday after lecture this week.

Homework 4 extension to Monday at 2pm

Dear Class,

I know that many of you were up late last night and today taking in the election results, so I've decided to extend the due date for Problem Set 4 until this Monday 11/14 at 2pm (it was originally due tomorrow). Due to this extension, the usual lateness policy will not be in effect (you won't be given an automatic extension until Tuesday).  I will post the solutions late Monday.
