An Attempt in Copying...

So, as per request, I found a text book that would work for the homework assignment. Elementary Number Theory: Fourth Edition by David M. Burton. Furthermore, I've sent out my first email, to two addresses, because they list about thirteen email addresses on the publisher's website McGraw-Hill. It was fun looking at them all and trying to decipher what I needed to do. No matter.

Unfortunately, after half an hour, I was still unable to come up with any contact information for Burton, so I'll just focus on the publisher. But I'm sure no one really cares about that. What you want to know is what the email said. Actually, you might not even care that greatly about that, either.

My email:

From: "Berman Christy Lynnn" Subject: Permission for Copying Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 17:24:17 -0400 To: customer.service@mcgraw-hill.com, legal@mcgraw-hill.com

To The McGraw-Hill Companies,

First, allow me to apologize for sending this email to
multiple addresses listed on your website. However, I am
unclear as to which address would handle this request.

I am a college student at Hood College and my professor has
set up a project for the class where each student presents
and teaches a specific mathematical topic. In order to
present my topic, I request the ability to copy Chapter 8,
pages 149-170 of David M. Burton's "Elementary Number
Theory: Fourth Edition."

Thank you for your time,

Christy Berman

Now, you might be thinking, "Wow, you could have been a lot more detailed in your description on what you sent." And I could have. I could have tried to cover all aspects, but I'm kind of curious as to how they will respond if they don't really have a lot of information to go on.

Besides, it was spur of the moment creativity in that email and I kind of like it as is. That may very well change in a few days, when I really analyze it, but it's too late for regret.





The cake is a lie!
