In Preparation
The information below is preliminary and cannot be trusted! (v)
Reading
Read sections 19, 20, 21, and 23 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 24 and 26, just to get a feel for the future.
Doing
Solve the following problems from Munkres' book, though submit only the underlined ones: Problems 6, 7 on page 118, and problems 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 on pages 126-128.
Class Photo
Identify yourself in the 10-327/Class Photo page!
Due date
This assignment is due at the end of class on Thursday, October 14, 2010.
Suggestions for Good Deeds
Annotate our Monday videos (starting with Video: 
Topology-100927) in a manner similar to (say) AKT-090910-1, and/or add links to the blackboard shots, in a manner similar to Alekseev-1006-1. Also, make constructive suggestions to me, Dror and / or the videographer, Qian (Sindy) Li, on how to improve the videos and / or the software used to display them. Note that "constructive" means also, "something that can be implemented relatively easily in the real worlds, given limited resources".
