Plan

I plan to finish 2.5, do 2.6, do Cayley's theorem which is the very first thing in 2.7, but not the rest of 2.7, then go to chapter 3. Ideally, I would like to complete 3.1-3.6. But I think as long as we get through 3.2, we will have covered everything in the course description. So, we're actually in pretty good shape. More detailed plan.
