Note: you will get a remainder of 1 by the 6th power for most of the assigned problems. The one exception, is that you need to continue to the eight power of 3 in problem c
Chapter 11:
Not directly helps for the homework, but this is more-or-less my usual lecture about hyperbolic geometry, so if you understand this, it should help make sense of some of the homework problems. Email if there are specific points you get stuck on and need additional help. Part 1, part 2, part 3
Chapter 12:
The rational numbers are countable
The real numbers are uncountable
