	'''Task 1.''' ~~Reread~~ sections 1.6, 1.7, and 2.1 in our textbook. Remember that reading math isn't like reading a novel!

So reading math takes reading and rereading and rerereading and a lot of thought about what you've read. Remember that your prof. thinks that section 1.7 is useless fun. Also, '''preread''' the rest of chapter 2, just to get a feel for the future.		'''Task 1.''' Read/reread sections 1.6, 1.7, and 2.1 in our textbook.
