Assignments for Weeks 10 and 11
Remember that the rough draft of your second paper is due Wednesday,
April 17. See next fortnight's assignment for more details.
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 Friday, April 12
(in Week 12)
- Exercise 5.1, p. 228.
- Exercise 5.7, p. 231. (W)
- Exercise 6.6, p. 271-272.
- Exercise 6.7, p. 272.
- Exercise 6.10, p. 273.
- Use Proposition 6.1 to justify the "defect" argument in Legendre's proof
(end of first full paragraph on p. 222, "Therefore ... 2d").
