        Miscellaneous:

the due date for assignment 2B has been moved to March 19
for exercise 6-10 check:
          Humphreys, Introduction to Lie Algebras and Representation Theory, pages 145-146.

I'll skip chapters 11 and 12 and proceed to representation theory, starting March 26.

I plan to skip chapter 18.

The total amount of homework for the semester will consist of 4 type A and 4 type B
assignments, not 5 as I initially planned.
