of vector fields.
For August 8: #5, #8 from 2003, #1, #6 from 2004, #8 from 2006, #2 from 2007. These involve
differential forms and integration.
For August 15: #2 from 2004, #6, #7 from 2005, #3 from 2006, #8 from 2007. These involve Lie
derivatives and integrability.
As you know, we need to make up a class. We will do this on August 27 from 1:30-4:20 in C-36.
Here are the last two assignments, for August 22 and August 27.
