% Include packages required to compile document:

\usepackage{amssymb, amsthm, amsmath} % These packages are used for the basic math symbols and environments.
\usepackage{enumerate} % This package is used to provide various types of numbering for lists.
\usepackage[margin=1.25in]{geometry} % This is to set wide margins, so there is room to leave comments
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip} % This provides formatting for paragraphs so that there are no indents and paragraphs are separated by a line skip.
\usepackage[pdftex,colorlinks=true,urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}
% You may need to add additional packages depending on the commands you want to use.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% User defined commands:

\newcommand{\br}{\mathbb R} % this is the symbol for the real numbers.  mathbb is the "blackboard bold" font
\newcommand{\bz}{\mathbb Z} % integers
\newcommand{\bq}{\mathbb Q} % rationals
\newcommand{\bn}{\mathbb N} % natural numbers

\newcommand{\co}{\colon\thinspace} % this is a good way to write functions, i.e instead of $f: X \to Y$, you would write $f\co X \to Y$.  It looks nicer.

% You may add shortcuts for any commands you find yourself using frequently.  

\DeclareMathOperator{\ord}{ord} % This command lets you declare math operators.  Some built in operators are \sin for sine and \cos for cosine.  This makes the operators appear nicely in the math environment.  If I wanted to make the sine operator myself, it would look like \DeclareMathOperator{\sin}{sine}.

{\bf Instructions.} \textit{Read the appropriate homework guide (\href{http://qc.edu/~nvlamis/301S24/Homework_Guide_301.pdf}{Homework Guide for 301} or \href{http://qc.edu/~nvlamis/301S24/Homework_Guide_601.pdf}{Homework Guide for 601}) to make sure you understand how to successfully complete the assignment. 
All claims must be sufficiently justified. }

\begin{Exercise}
Complete the following exercises from  \#1 from \href{http://abstract.ups.edu/aata/groups-exercises.html}{Section~3.5} in the course textbook:
\# 2, 7, 10, 15, 25, 26, \textbf{*27, *31, *32}, 33%, 41, 45, 46, 47, 48

(\# For 25 and 27, use induction.)
\end{Exercise}

\medskip
\begin{Exercise}
Let \( D_4 \) denote the group of symmetries of a square. 
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item Describe all the elements of \( D_4 \).  (You do not need to prove you have them all, but do your best.  We will do an official count in class at a later date.)
\item Describe a permutation of the vertices of the square that cannot be obtained via a symmetry of the square.  
(You will need to use the Pythagorean theorem: \( a^2+b^2=c^2 \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle and \( c \) is the length of the hypotenuse.)
\end{enumerate}
\end{Exercise}


\medskip
\begin{ExChallenge}
Let \( G \) be a finite group.
Prove that there exists \( N \in \bn \) such that \( g^N = e \) for each \( g \in G \). 
\end{ExChallenge}

%\medskip
%\begin{ExGraded}
%Let \( H \) be a subgroup of a group \( G \).
%Define the relation \( \sim \) on \( G \) by \( a\sim b \) if \( b^{-1}a \in H \).
%Prove that \( \sim \) is an equivalence relation on \( G \). 
%\end{ExGraded}

%\medskip
%\begin{ExChallenge}
%Suppose \( H \) is a nonempty finite subset of a group \( G \) and that \( H \) is closed under multiplication (that is, \( ab \in H \) for all \( a, b \in H \)). 
%Prove that \( H \) is a subgroup of \( G \).
