The text is O’Neill’s Semi-Riemannian Geometry.

Grade information: Grades will be based on homework (70%) and a take-home final. The grading scale is 80-100: A, 60-79: B, 40-59: C, 20-39: D.

Collaboration Policy: Students may work with one another on homework, but all collaboration or help received from other students, faculty, or books, must be acknowledged in writing on each homework assignment. Students are permitted to use the course text during the final, but notes and consultation with other people or sources is not permitted while taking the final.

Comments, hints, etc.: ***In #2 you do not need to consider the non-Riemannian case and you do not need to give an example of a locally symmetric space that is not symmetric but has universal cover that is symmetric. All of the (complete) locally symmetric spaces we have encountered in this course are symmetric.
