This is the complete list of corrections and updates to the lecture slides for Math3962 which were made on or after March 28.

DateLectureChange
May 28 Lec 36 Rewrote the proof of Lemma 36.7 (see also slide 36.8) in an attempt to make the argument clearer. Will revisit this next Monday.
May 26 Lec 34 Fixed problem with labeling of groups generated by &sigma2 and &sigma3τ on slides 34.3 and 34.3.
May 27 Lec 31 Corrected the statement of Lemma 31.1 which should read: [E:F]≤(deg f)!
May 26 Lec 34 Corrected (and reordered) the labelling of the `words' on slide 34.2.
May 26 Lec 33 Minor corrections
May 21 Lec 32 Corrected problem in the proof of Theorem 32.3 when showing that Gal(E:L)=Gal(E:K).
Apr 22 Lec 31 Updated slides for lectures 26-31 so that extensions always take the form E:F (rather than F:E) and fixed typos in Lemma 31.3 and Theorem 31.5.
May 4 Lec 14 Fixed the typo in second line of Corollary 14.4 on slide 14.7, as pointed out by John Maclean.

Fixed up statement of Corollary 17.6 and uploaded lecture 20.
Apr 21 Lec 19 Lec 18
Lec 17
Corrected several typos from last week and uploaded the slides for lecture 19.
Apr 10 Lec 15 Rewrote the proof of Proposition 15.3 to try and make the argument clearer. Added Corollary 15.9, which says that primes and irreducibles coincide in a PID -- before this was implicit and not actually stated.
Apr 8 Lec 7 Small correction to slide 7.2: added check that I is non-empty
Apr 8 Lec 13 Rephrased Zorn's lemma in an attempt to make it more understandable. Corrected various typos including the statement of Theorem 13.2 and the last line of the example on slide 8. Moved slide 9 to lecture 14.
Apr 7 Lec 13 Uploaded corrected slides for Lecture 13, together with additional statements equivalent to the Axiom of Choice
Apr 2 Lec 12 Uploaded slightly corrected slides for Lecture 12 at 3pm after lecture
Apr 2 Lec 11 Uploaded slides for Lecture 11 at 11am.
Apr 1 Lec 2 Corrected typos in the proof of Lemma 2.2
Mar 31 Lec 10 Uploaded slides for Lecture 10 at 11am and revised after the Lecture at 3:45pm.
