Projects
          Project 1 - Due in class Thursday, September 29. Graduate students will need the data in CH2Cl.xls
          Project 2 - Due 4:00 p.m. on Monday, December 19. You will need ex2hono1.txt and ex2hono2.txt. You may beenfit by having a backup copy of ex1.txt.
I had to use .txt in the names because of restrictions on file types on the ESF web pages, so when you save these files, you should replace the ".txt" with ".inp"

Humor:  Chant to the cadence of the first four pages of Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss:
                FO_x, O_x, BrO_x, NO_x.
                NO_x with BrO_x. No FO_x with O_x!
                NO_x with FO_x and ClO_x: more O_x!
                O_x with NO_x and NO_x with ClO_x. ClO_x and BrO_x and FO_x with NO_x.
