Steve Hennagin: Why did the fireman wear red suspenders?
Nikolaus Vonessen: I had no time for the revised conjecture.
I finished
the Galois correspondence instead. It looks neat!
Russell Blyth: Cool!
Donna Nonnenkamp: why?
Robert Quinn has joined this chat.
Steve Hennagin: To hold up his pants.
Robert Quinn: thanks
Michael Engquist: Any ideas for how to use GAP in linear
algebra--say
Cayley-Hamilton?

Russell Blyth: What is purple and commutes? (quiet, Joanne)
Nikolaus Vonessen: An abelian grape.
Russell Blyth:
Joanne Redden:
Nikolaus Vonessen: What is green and complete?
Russell Blyth: What is yellow and equivalent to the axiom of
choice?
Michael Engquist: Where is your lab manual?
Nikolaus Vonessen: The real line.
Blake Boursaw: Zorn's Lemon?
Russell Blyth:
Steve Hennagin: Great questions

Donna Nonnenkamp: section 16
2:35 PM
Steve Hennagin: Gaussian primes less than 60 are
[3,7,11,19,23,31,43,47,59], perhaps?
Steve Hennagin: all odd integers are prime, right?

Donna Nonnenkamp: hi
2:40 PM
Susan Pustejovsky: okay, it looks like it worked, thanks
Nikolaus Vonessen: Maybe that's doomed to fail, but I'll try
to teach my
students to work with lists to automate computations such as
these.
Russell Blyth: Yes, once you see the power of List ...

Russell Blyth: VNC URL unchanged
Russell Blyth: We're in section 16, at the end
Maria Fung: Thanks!
Steve Hennagin: no sound
Nora Strasser: no sound.
2:50 PM
Donna Nonnenkamp: Hold on new batteries
Donna Nonnenkamp: sound back
Steve Hennagin: sound again
Joanne Redden: Sound is back.
Nora Strasser: sound OK
Linda Sundbye: have sound
Steve Hennagin: A_20
Steve Hennagin: a_5, sorry
Russell Blyth: A_20 was OK

Robert Quinn: Isn't the identity group always normal, why
doesn't every
derived series end in the identity?
Russell Blyth: Since [H,H] can equal H
Russell Blyth: So the series can come to a halt before
reaching 1
Russell Blyth: Juli is saying the quotients need to be
abelian
Robert Quinn: Thanks!
3:00 PM
Russell Blyth: Questions?
3:05 PM
Donna Nonnenkamp: Section 18
3:10 PM
Russell Blyth: add for in exercise 18,4 the phrase: for G a
dihedral
group.
3:15 PM
Nikolaus Vonessen: it might be helpful here to suggest a few
(non-
transitive) groups to the students.
3:20 PM
Donna Nonnenkamp: rtsp://165.134.240.35/video0702pm2.sdp
Donna Nonnenkamp: new tape give us a minute
Russell Blyth: tapes changing
Russell Blyth: any problems?
Donna Nonnenkamp: we're back
Juli Rainbolt: Ok, we're back - and the conjecture is ...

Nikolaus Vonessen: Thanks for the answers!
Nora Strasser: Do you assign the groups for the students or
do you let
them get into their own groups?
Robert Quinn went offline before accepting your invitation.

Nikolaus Vonessen: The listserv refuses to send me the list
of
participants + email addresses. Could you do that?
John Vogt: What sort of prerequisites do you have for your
undergraduate Abstract Algebra class and do they include a
separate
course that introduces students to higher mathematics?
Robert Quinn: You may have mentioned this, but can you
repeat who
maintains the GAP software and how is it funded?
3:40 PM
Steve Hennagin: Meeting next summer sounds good. I will be
using
GAP in Sr Seminar
Steve Hennagin: Also, we require Discrete Math (using
Scheinerman's
book) for ll proof-type classes.
Michael Engquist: Do you have notes or other info for the
logic, etc.
class?
Robert Quinn: thanks
Juli Rainbolt: mt a266
3:45 PM
Juli Rainbolt: greg marks
Nikolaus Vonessen: Are you holding sucha workshop again next
year?
Maria Fung: I teach intro to proofs but do not use any
technology with
it. Thebook I used was Reading, Writing and Proving a Closer
Look at
Higher Mathematics.
Juli Rainbolt: Author(s)?
Michael Engquist: Have any of your students discovered new
results
using GAP?
3:50 PM
Maria Fung: Just a second... „Reading, Writing, and
Proving,‰ Springer
2003, by Ulrich Daepp and Pamela Gorkin.
