The IOP must be carefully typed, but diagrams may be hand-drawn.
For the typesetting, one possibility
is the (free)
mathematics-typesetting language
.
At all times have a paper copy you can hand-in; I do
NOT accept
electronic versions.
Print out a copy each day, so that you always have the latest version to
hand-in; this, in case your printer or computer fails.

Please follow the guidelines on the
Checklist
(pdf, 3pages) to earn full credit.
.
Our Teaching Page
has important information for my students.
(It has the
Notes, Exams and Links
from all of my previous courses.)
The Teaching Page has my schedule,
LOR guidelines,
and Usually Useful Pamphlets.
One of them is the
Checklist (pdf)
which gives pointers on competant mathematical writing.
Further information is at our
class-archive URL
(I email this private URL directly to students).
Quantifiers ∀ and ∃ (“for all” and “there exists”) are like nitroglycerin, in that one little mis-step leads to the whole thing blowing up in your face.
There is no partial credit when it comes to Explosives and Quantifiers.

In all of my courses, attendance is absolutely required (excepting illness and religious holidays). In the unfortunate event that you miss a class, you are responsible to get all Notes / Announcements / TheWholeNineYards from a classmate, or several. All my classes have a substantial class-participation grade.
See also Burnside's lemma and its application to Counting necklaces.
We discussed in class the commutator of two elements in a group.
quizzeslink, please have read the binomial/multinomial conventions on page 2, together with Operations on Sets.
It wouldn't surprise me if you are curious about Enumerating TTT-automorphisms for 4x4, and the reasoning involved.
While we're on this topic, I'm looking for suggestions on clever names for some of the 4x4 TTT-automorphism pictures.
The nifty Class-B now has all solns. Please go over it in detail.
As the semester progresses, you will also need to print-out a few pages of handouts that I have prepared for you.
We will cover some material that is not in our text; in particular, applications of group-theory for solving certain games and puzzles.
Our textbook is Contemporary Abstract Algebra 9th edition.
