Due February 6
9.2   8-13, 17, 18;
9.3   1-3, 6, 10;
Class exercise 1 in jan30.pdf notes. (Fun and challenging!)

   hwsols4.pdf
Grading: 10 points total, distributed as follows:
   9.2: 8, 9, 10, 11 = 2 points each; 13, 18 = 1 point each. (12, 17 not graded.)

Due February 13
Class exercise 1 in jan30.pdf notes.
9.3   1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 15, 16, 20, 26; In #1, show that the "inverse image of closed is closed" statement is equivalent to the "inverse image of open is open" statement in the usual definition of continuous (since we showed in class that the definition using closed sets is equivalent to sequential and epsilon-delta continuity). In #10, expand the problem to give a complete proof that the space C(M,N) of continuous functions from M to N is complete, under the hypotheses that M is compact and N is complete....we did a special case of this theorem in the notes jan27.pdf. In #15 also show that if you use closed intervals, i.e. f:[0,1]->[0,1] continuous, then f must have a fixed point.
