Office: 224 Thayer Hall,
Phone: 938-2413
Email: leigh.noble@usma.edu
Web: http://www.math.usma.edu/people/Noble/
Availability:
Generally I am NOT available for AI during the following times:

On days our MA104 course meets: from 0800 -- 1200
Tuesdays from 1350 -- 1530
Wednesdays from 1350 -- 1445

I am always available for drop-in AI (no appointment needed) during Dean's Hour each day.
Other than Dean's Hour, you should ask for (call, write, request in person) an appointment rather than just showing up as I often have other meetings and obligations. (In particular, see the Announcements section for specific unavailable times.) Of course, I will try to accomodate your schedule as best I can, so be sure to ask for special consideration in case our schedules appear to be in massive conflict!
