Reading Assignment for October 1st
by Taylor Murray 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi Everyone, The reading assignment for next week will be 2.1-2.3 in the text. This is a bit shorter than usual, but I think there are many cool things here to keep us preoccupied for a little while. It was also brought to my attention that not everybody received my emails earlier this week. Hopefully that doesn't happen again, but if it does, please let me know! Best, Taylor

Meeting Reminder
by Taylor Murray 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Dear All, This is a friendly reminder that we will meet tomorrow at 3:00 in Burnett Hall 305. Moreover, we will have problem presentations. As a reminder the assignments are: Danny + Cleve: 2 Zach + Kesavan : 6 Taylor: 1 Sabrina + Sara: 4 (there is a typo in the sheet it should be "char(K)\neq 2" instead "of char(K) does not divide n") Nawaj : 5 If you have time to type up your solution in the overleaf: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.overleaf.com/8628482744fsyckxxtgwqk… , that would be amazing. However, it is not required. Best, Taylor

CAABS Next Week (Problem Assignments)
by Taylor Murray 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Dear All, The plan for next week's installment of CAABS is to do the following: for the list of exercises from 09/10/2024 (which can be found here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://caabsatunl.github.io/CAABS/CAABS_Fall_2… ). I will assign a problem or two to a person or two who regularly show up (including myself). With the problem you have been assigned, you will present a solution to it next week during the course of the CAABS meeting time. Danny + Cleve: 2 Zach + Kesavan : 6 Taylor: 1 Sabrina + Sara: 4 (there is a typo in the sheet it should be "char(K)\neq 2" instead "of char(K) does not divide n") Nawaj : 5 If you have time to type up your solution in the overleaf: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.overleaf.com/8628482744fsyckxxtgwqk… , that would be amazing. However, it is not required. You are encouraged to work through the other problems (even if you aren't assigned any). You all are also encouraged to discuss these problems with each other outside the meeting times and even with me (after all, I am just beginning to learn this stuff as well). My plans for future installments of CAABS are like so: Every other CAABS meeting we will have a reading assignment in the text that will be assigned. During that meeting we will discuss things that were unclear to us, questions we might have, ect..., and we will be given a new sheet of exercises. After this meeting, I will assign problems from the worksheet to be presented in the next CAABS meeting (not everyone may be assigned a problem, and I will keep track of this so that it is fair). We will then repeat this process. I understand that not all problems are created equally, and issues may arise. So, a few things regarding this: 1. If you are unable to solve the problem you are assigned, please talk to your peers (this includes me) and see if you can brainstorm some solutions. 2. If after item 1. you are still not able to come up with a solution, that is O.K.! In this case, you will be asked to explain the progress you have made during your time to present and any ideas you may or may not have to tackle the problem. 3. If you are assigned a problem, but for whatever reason, will not be able to attend CAABS for your presentation, please let me know as soon as possible, so that I can restructure things if needed. If you have questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact me!

Next Weeks Reading Assignment
by Taylor Murray 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

Hi all, A couple of things: 1. If you have not been able to attend CAABS, but would like to, please feel free to come next week! Even if you have to come 15-20 min late, that is okay! 2. The reading assignment for September 17th will be to catch up. We will continue to work on the worksheets next week (you can find these worksheets here: CAAB (caabsatunl.github.io)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://caabsatunl.github.io/CAABS/current.html… >). 3. If you are interested (i.e. this is not required but encouraged) in typing up a solution to one or more of the exercises in the worksheets, please indicate so by writing your name by the problem you want to type a solution to in: the shared overleaf: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.overleaf.com/8628482744fsyckxxtgwqk… . I will be working on solutions with no names attached to them this coming week, so I encourage you to claim the problem(s) you want to write up as soon as you can. There is no hard deadline for typed solutions 🙂 Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see many of you next week!

Pease come to CAABS after topology + meeting reminder
by Taylor Murray 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

Dear all, This is a friendly reminder that we will meet today from 3:00-4:00 in Burnett 205. It was brought to my attention that many people who might be interested in attending have Topology until 3:15 on Tuesdays; if you are in topology this semester and would like to attend CAABS as well, please feel free to come after class. Likely, we will be finishing up discussions and beginning an exercise sheet in groups around the time topology finishes. If you were not able to finish last week or this week's reading assignment, that is okay-- I encourage you to still come! We will be working in groups, so it will still be a fun opportunity to learn. Best, Taylor
