Dear Students,
Having trouble locating information on the
person you chose or who was chosen for you?
I agree that the amount of material I have
on a few of these people is somewhat lacking (student projects
is not really my original intention).
Below, let me
give you some suggestions.
Thank you for your attention.
Dr. Williams
Suggestions
I am assuming your homework concerns one of
the individuals on this web site.
- Have you tried to find your person in
my list of people's profiles?
for Math;
for Computer Science;
for Physics
; for Astronomy.
If yes, go on.
- Additional major sources are Faces
(for science) and SUMMA
(for Math).
- Have you searched Google and looked at
other hits?
Trust me, if there are any, they will
show up at google. (I find yahoo, hotbot, and the others
not useful for this project.)
If yes, go on.
- Have you clicked any link to the person's
web page (if there is one). Also, sometimes I give, as references,
other web pages. Please note some people may be traveling and
away from a computer. Some people simply don't read their email
daily. Many people do not respond to rude letters or very poor
English (so check your email carefully
before sending)
If yes, go on
- Sometimes additional information can be
attained by telephoning the person themselves, or if the individual
is dead, you might try the last place of employment. This means
a lot of patience, persistence, and time (I
hope you didn't wait until the assignent is nearly do). For
long distance phoning, you might involve your parents.
don't like #4,
go on.
- If the above tools don't work, let me
suggest another person. I believe enough personal information
can be found either on the web or through direct contact with
one of those people listed

(of course you may still have to try some
of the suggestions above, say write to the individual):
