In Preparation

The information below is preliminary and cannot be trusted! (v)

Reading

Read sections 26 and 27 in Munkres' textbook (Topology, 2nd edition). Remember that reading math isn't like reading a novel! If you read a novel and miss a few details most likely you'll still understand the novel. But if you miss a few details in a math text, often you'll miss everything that follows. So reading math takes reading and rereading and rerereading and a lot of thought about what you've read. Also, preread sections 28 and 29, just to get a feel for the future.

Doing

Solve the following problems from Munkres' book, though submit only the underlined ones: Problems ?? on page ???, and problems ?? on pages ???.

Due date

This assignment is due at the end of class on Thursday, November 4, 2010.

Dror's notes above / Student's notes below

• Hi Dror if it is due on Nov.4th how come it is still not assigned yet? we have only 4 days to complete it? -KaiXwbdsb 01:34, 30 October 2010 (EDT)
  • It still says "in preparation" and it's a bit early to ask about this assignment.
