Happy holidays and have a fun winter break!
Also, I will put all the remaining graded homework assignments in an envelope just outside my office.
I'll assign the take-home final on December 10. It will be due in a week, on December 17 at 2 PM.
To get some idea about the survey papers we talked about, check out the bottom of Alan Weinstein's web page, where he has links to Survey articles in Riemannian geometry from his Math 240 courses at Berkeley. Basically, each student would choose a topic and survey the literature about it. Here's my survey "Which manifolds admit a geodesic flow of Anosov type?" from 1992.
Important announcement: There will be only one midterm, which means that there will be no midterm next Monday, Oct. 1. Instead, each student will be required to make a 15 minute presentation on a topic of his choosing. We'll discuss this in class.
Two years ago I wrote a little handout on the Implicit Function Theorem, which I would like to revise for this class, but before I have time to do that, you can take a look at the old version.
If you are still not sure if you want to take the class, feel free to email me for more information.
We actually won't be relying much on Math 113, so if you're not sure if are sufficiently prepared to take this class, please come talk to me or just email me.
