( Update this post during the week )

Sunday
I am still concentrating on chapters 1-6 about representations of finite groups. My goal for this week is

to understand:
- exterior powers :-(
- symmetric powers :-(
- induced representations OK
- young diagrams
/Other
- wreath product
- Sylow Groups OK

to start learning TeX ( at last ) by making summaries in TeX> of
- chapter 1
- chapter 2
- chapter 3
/* Oops, this is a bit too ambituous! Forget entire chapters, just do two topics.*/
- topic #1 [ TBD ]
- topic #2 [ TBD ]

select and complete at least four exercises
- #1 [ TBD ]
- #2 [ TBD ]
- #3 [ TBD ]
- #4 [ TBD ]

Monday
I am close to understanding induced induced representations, thanks to this example on PlanetMath. I worked a bit on Exterior Powers and Symmetric Powers, again: no luck.

Tuesday
Induced Representations OK, Sylow Groups OK

Wednesday
- exterior powers

Thursday
EVALUATION FIRST MONTH / PLAN

Friday
[ TBD ]
