- (R) Read Katz Chapter 10 and Secs. 11.1-11.3 (the buildup to

Remarks:
- 10.4, 10.11: See remark on Vista.
- 10.12: Assume k > 0. (Optional at the end: Try to find a
reasonable definition of (j choose -1) that will make the theorem true and
the inductive step (to k = 1) valid when k = 0. NOTE: This definition
will not be the standard one, according to books by Donald Knuth.)
- 11.8: For the definition of "subnormal" compare Figs. 11.1 and 11.3.
- (W, optional)
Finish the logarithm exercises from last week.
