Welcome to the MA 265 course page. Preferred Browser is Firefox version 3 or higher.

If you create a page that belong to this course, please write

[[Category:MA265Spring2010Walther]]

at the bottom of the page.

OTHERWISE NO CREDIT ! (If you use the "Create a child page" button, this should happen automatically...)

ROOMCHANGE: we are now meeting in ME 156 (Same time)--Walther 11:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

(See more below in Miscellaneous)

Read the marvelous Rhea Help Manual written by Nate Orlow. Also, consider attending this informal mediawiki training session on Monday Jan 18. Your colleague Zach will tell you everything you need to know about editing and navigating Rhea.

Getting started
- To start, click the "Help" button above and read what's there.
- To edit pages, first log in (with your purdue account to create pages. Then click "edit" (under "Page" above) and remember to click "Save Page" after you are done editting.).
- To get a quick idea what works how, click "edit" on this page to see how to do the things visible on this page.
- Note that the "edit" mode has a spell-checking feature: look for red-underlined stuff.

Creating pages
- To create a new page named "B" from a page A, go to edit page A and insert the text [[B]]. (Note that "B" is like a web address for a webpage. Each page also has a name, but you can call the link anything (like fancy_title) by typing [[B|fancy_title]] rather than just B. After saving, find the new red link on page A that appeared. When you click it, you'll note you are now on page B (which of course is empty at this point).
- NOTE: if the "new" link comes out blue, instead of red, you chose a title of an existing page and did not create a new one. The blue link gets you simply to the already existing one. Use distinctive names for your new creations!
- If you place "Category:MA265Spring2010Walther" enclosed by square brackets on top of a new page it will be parsed by the system as belonging to this course. It can then be searched (for) in a meaningful way.

Advanced Rhea techniques
- You can look at other Rhea pages by clicking "main page" and then "course pages". Especially the ECE pages will get you an idea where one can take Rhea...
- Do you want to display pages in other pages?
