To day I did 1.1 until "The fundamental group of the circle". I'll continue from there on Monday  and basically do all the rest of 1.1 next week. On Wednesday we catch up with the exercises and do exercises 3,4,5 and 6 from 1.1.

Geir

To day I did examples 0.7, 0.8, 0.10 spoke about the homotopy extension property (page 14,15) and proved prop 0.17.

Om monday I'll prove (or at least sketch the proof of) 0.16 and do 0.18. 0.19, 0.20 and  0.21.

And the exercise I postponed.

Exercise for wednesday feb. 3: 18, 19, 21,  22, 24,  25, 27, 28, 29. all from CH 0.

Geir

To day I mostly did examples of CW-complexes.

Wedges of spheres, graphs, Spheres, infinite  sphere, real projective spaces including the infinite one. I started with complex projective spaces.

On monday  I'll continue with complex projective spaces. Do the paragraphs called: operation on spaces, collapsing subspaces and attaching spaces, and may be start on the homotopy extension property.

Exercises:

Ch 0: No  2, 3, 4, 9,10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19
