Assignments for Weeks 10 and 11
Remember that the rough draft of your second paper is due Monday,
Nov. 21.
See posted policies for more details, and note
this change.
Reading
Read Chapters 5 and 6. Beware of a few misprints and foibles:
- Page 222 uses the concept of "defect", which is not defined until p. 252.
(See the last exercise below.)
- Page 254, line ll: Angle C should be Angle C'. (In line 13, it really
should be Angle C.)
- Page 260: The last paragraph of the proof of Prop. 6.6 seems to have
migrated to the end of the next proof ("To prove symmetry ...", pp. 261-262).
Homework due Wednesday, November 16

(end of first full paragraph on p. 222, "Therefore ... 2d").
