In Preparation
The information below is preliminary and cannot be trusted! (v)
Reading
Read section 11 of chapter II and sections 1-3 of chapter V of Bredon's book three times:
- First time as if you were reading a novel - quickly and without too much attention to detail, just to learn what the main keywords and concepts and goals are.
- Second time like you were studying for an exam on the subject - slowly and not skipping anything, verifying every little detail.
- And then a third time, again at a quicker pace, to remind yourself of the bigger picture all those little details are there to paint.
Doing
Solve the following problems from Bredon's book, but submit only the solutions of the problems marked with an "S":
