Announcements for Math 23a:

Final grades have been submitted to the registrar, and you may pick up your final exams in my office.

Our dedicated CA Jim Fowler has written up some work on the quaternions, the p-adics, and Zorn's lemma, and you can get the pages here.

Some people have expressed interest in learning more about proof techniques. Check out the following introduction to proofs written by the Math 25 CA's. I hope some will find it helpful.
