When doing your homework, I encourage you to use the Elements of Style for Proofs (see Appendix B of the course notes) as a reference. Note: On each homework assignment, please write (i) your name, (ii) name of course, and (iii) Daily/Weekly Homework number.

## Daily Homework

The following assignments are to be turned in at the end of the indicated class period. I reserve the right to modify the assignment if the need arises. These exercises will form the basis of the student-led presentations each day. Daily assignments will be graded on a $\checkmark$-system. During class, you are only allowed to annotate your homework using the marker pens that I provide.

## Weekly Homework

In addition to the Daily Homework, we will also have Weekly Homework assignments. For most of these assignments, you will be required to submit 2-3 formally written solutions/proofs. You are required to type your submission using $\LaTeX$ (see below for more on this). I will walk you through how to do this.

• Weekly Homework 1: Prove Theorem A.8 and either Theorem A.74 or Theorem A.75 from Appendix A. You are required to type your proofs using LaTeX. For more information, see below. You should email me the PDF of your completed work. (Due Thursday, September 4 by 8PM)
• Weekly Homework 2: Prove Theorem A.12 and Theorem A.43 from Appendix A. For Theorem A.43, it may be helpful to read Definition A.40. You are required to type your proofs using LaTeX and you should email me the PDF of your completed work. (Due Tuesday, September 9 by 8PM)
• Weekly Homework 3: Complete each of the following tasks. (Due Tuesday, September 16 by 8PM)
• Prove either of Theorem 4.6 or Theorem 4.8.
• Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false. If a statement is true, write a short proof. If a statement is false, justify your reasoning. In each case, the context should make it clear what each letter represents. In particular, in items 1 and 3, $r$ represents rotation of a square by a quarter turn clockwise. But in item 4, $r$ represents rotating a triangle by a third of a turn clockwise.
1. $\{s, r, sr, rs\}\leq D_4$
2. $\{1, -1, i, -i, j, -j\}\leq Q_8$
3. $\{e, sr, rs, r^2\}\leq D_4$
4. $\{e, r, r^2\} \leq D_3$
• Weekly Homework 4: Prove one of Theorems 5.24, 5.25, 5.28 and prove one of Theorems 5.30, 5.32(2) from Chapter 5: A Formal Approach to Groups. (Due Tuesday, September 30 by 8PM)
• Weekly Homework 5: Prove any two of Theorems 5.52, 5.58, 5.60, 5.62, 5.64 from Chapter 5: A Formal Approach to Groups. (Due Tuesday, October 7 by 8PM)
• Weekly Homework 6: Prove any two of Problem 5.76, Theorems 5.79, 5.80, 5.82, 5.83 from Chapter 5: A Formal Approach to Groups. (Due Tuesday, October 14 by 8PM)

## Using LaTeX for Weekly Homework

You are required to use $\LaTeX$ to type up your Weekly Homework assignments. To do this, I suggest that you use my LaTeX Homework Template. The easiest way to get started with $\LaTeX$ is to use an online editor. I recommend using writeLaTeX, but there are other options. The good folks over at writeLaTeX have preloaded my template, so to get started, all you need to do is click the link below.
