Homework is due at the start of class, on Fridays, unless otherwise noted. Homework solutions will be posted by the following Monday, I hope. Homework assignments (most recent first): Circled or underlined problems are to be handed in, others are only recommended. Due Monday, April 18: Class exercises 1, 2, 3 (April 6 class notes), 4 (April 11). 4.8.10, 4.8.11, 4.8.15, 4.8.21, 4.8.25. Due Friday, April 8: 4.3.5, 4.3.6, 4.4.3. Due Friday, April 1: Class exercise from Friday March 25: show that for a graph z=f(x,y) the mean curvature is (1/2)*div((1/sqrt(1+|grad(f)|^2))*grad(f)). 4.2.3, 4.2.8. For 4.2.8, you might want to use the files shape.mws, shape.pdf Solutions: sols7a.pdf 4.2.8.pdf 4.2.8.mws Grading: 17 points, distributed as follows: Class I = 2 points, 4.2.3 = 3 points, 4.2.8 a-f = 2 points each. Due Friday, March 25: Chapter 3 problems: 3.3.13, 3.4.5, 3.4.6, Class exercises: Ia) Verify that the formula for inverse stereographic projection is given by X(u,v) = (1/(1+u^2+v^2))*<2u, 2v, u^2+v^2-1>. Ib) Show that X(u,v) above is conformal (See March 9 notes) II) Use the general formula in March 21 notes to rederive the Christoffel formulas for the Xuu expression.
