Electronic Mail Lists
The department maintains electronic mailing lists for a variety of
purposes. Some of these lists are local lists (i.e., they must be
sent to list-name@math.hmc.edu) whereas others are run
for us by CIS (and are
list-name@hmc.edu).
The CIS lists use their Majordomo mailing-list system, and you can subscribe or unsubscribe from them yourself (see below for examples).
Departmental Lists
There are several lists for communicating with various subsets of the staff and faculty of the department.
math-fac-l@hmc.edu(CIS)- Goes to all math department faculty, current, visiting, and emeritus.
mathdept@math.hmc.edu(Math)- Goes to tenure-track math faculty.
math-dept-l@hmc.edu(CIS)- Goes to all math department faculty and staff.
Class Lists
Each semester, CIS sets up class lists that are used to communicate with everyone taking a particular class. These lists have the form
math-class_number-l@hmc.edu
where class_number is the catalog number for the course.
Examples include
math-193-l@hmc.edu- The list for the Clinic class.
math-197-l@hmc.edu- The list for the thesis seminar.
Clinic Lists
The department sets up a number of lists for each Clinic team every year, in addition to the classwide list. These lists allow team members to communicate with each other, with the team and their advisor, and with the team, their advisor, and their liaison(s).
There are also lists to allow us to send mail directly to project managers, advisors, or other subgroups.
These lists are set up using your math department accounts, so it's very important that you set up e-mail forwarding to an account that you read. Important messages will be sent to these mailing lists, so you need to be sure you'll see them.
