MATH- 2106-F: MATH-2106-F

Hi everyone,

I'll be out of town this week, for a research workshop at the American Institute of Mathematics in San Jose, CA.  Dr. Rainer Sinn will be covering the classes for me. Dr. Sinn's research is in algebra, and he is currently teaching Math 4150, Number Theory.

Dr. Sinn will collect the reading assignments, but I won't be able to return the exam or the reading assignments until I come back next week.  I will not have office hours, but please feel free to email me or post on Piazza with any questions or concerns.

I hope you'll all have a great week!

Best,

Dr. Yu

A couple of students asked me where they can find more resources or practice problems. It's a good idea to attempt all problems in our textbook (Hammack).  In particular, the list of problems at the end of Chapter 9 is pretty good.

Here are two other free textbooks.  They also contain exercises with solutions.

A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Mathematics by Fields
http://giam.southernct.edu/GIAM/

Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof, by Sundstrom
http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/books/7/

You are welcome to come to office hours to discuss any attempts or solutions of any problems.  And please make use of Piazza to discuss math (including hints for homework) and to form study groups.

I've posted exams from last semester under Resources on Piazza. 

Disclaimer:  I make no guarantee about similarity with exams this semester, on difficulty or length or types of questions.  Also note that we used a different textbook and covered the material in a somewhat different order last semester, so the notations and coverage may be different.

The latex file is also available under Resources on Piazza.

It is not necessary to type your solutions, but there is 10% extra credit if you do.
