Finite Math Lab Assignments 
Lab assignments are available below. The labs are intended for use with the Excel spreadsheet. Podcasts are available that illustrate ideas from many of the assignments.
Currently the labs are being revised to make them independent of the version of Excel (2003 or 2007). Future plans are to make versions available for OpenOffice and Google Spreadsheet Docs. For users of versions of Word or Excel prior to 2007 the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack can be downloaded to use files in the 2007 format.
