Short notes.

Homework problems will be posted below, about a week before they are due. You are encouraged to discuss the problems with each other, but you must work on your own when you write them down. Late homework not be accepted, but your lowest homework score will be thrown away before calculating the average. The letter H denotes problems in Hatcher's book.
