*Things to do for Project 1: Answer all questions in the chapter. Questions 6 and 8 are central! Section 1.5 may help with understanding what is going on. Remember that answering "why" is always the most important thing in Mathematics.
* Here are [http://helmut.knaust.info/class/202110_2325/Guidelines.pdf guidelines for writing your project reports].
*3. A Remark on Question 6: (4 min.)<br>

*Things to do:
#Explain how and why the EA works.
#Investigate Questions 1-6. What are your conjectures? Why are your conjectures true?
#(Skip Section 3.4.)
#Investigate the questions posed in Section 3.5: Are there GCD and EA for polynomials?
*5. Speed test: EA vs. PF (<2 min., interesting, but not really relevant):

If the textbook does not suffice as MKO: your instructor is just a Zoom screen away. You may also want to check out the [http://www.inquirybasedlearning.org/ Academy for Inquiry Based Learning].
