Suggested reading for Monday, June 22nd: Judson Ch. 0.
Replacement
for Chapter 11 - Updated Monday, July 20th, 6 PM.
-On p. 93, the proof of Cor 5.10 is incomplete: Theorem 5.9 shows that any
two cycles of the same length are conjugate by an element of S_n, but the
proof of Cor 5.10 assumes that this can be done by an element of A_n,
which requires proof. We gave a different proof of Cor 5.10 by showing
that if G is a group and H is a subgroup of index 2, then H contains all
squares in G, and then noting that all 3-cycles are squares of
3-cycles.
-On p. 140, the proof of Theorem 8.1(1) is incorrect:
the fact that the
inverse of an isomorphism is a bijection is trivial, but one must check
that the inverse of an isomorphism is actually a homomorphism.
-On p. 268, the statement of Eisenstein's criterion given does not follow
from the version of the Gauss Lemma given. We fixed this in class by
giving a better version of the Gauss Lemma.
