Hello all, This week, we finished chapter 1. We discussed the properties of the Special Euclidean group, and worked through some of the figures and examples. *We will not meet next week, 11/27.* Instead, we'll meet the following week, on December 4th. If possible, read through sections 2.1 and 2.2 in the next two weeks. Enjoy your Thanksgiving! Capprin Bass Oregon State University basscap(a)oregonstate.edu

Hello all, Last week, I forgot to send out a review of our meeting. I'll review it here, as well as the most recent meeting. *Last Week, 11/06:* We read through section 1.1, focused on manifolds. We addressed questions about the requirements, definitions, and properties for these structures, and worked out some examples. *This Week, 11/13:* We read through section 1.2, covering Groups. We talked about the distinction between left and right actions, and worked an example showing the difference. We provided intuitive examples illustrating direct/semi-direct products, commutativity, and the commutator of two group actions. *Next Week, 11/20:* Read section 1.3, which applies Groups to rigid bodies. Work on the examples, and bring any questions you have! Have a good weekend, Capprin Bass Oregon State University basscap(a)oregonstate.edu
