| May 20 | Posets | Chapter 1: nice proof of Dilworth's theorem - also look at the exercises. Useful discussion of representation of posets here.
|
| May 24 | Lattices: definition, semilattices, complete lattices, closure systems | Chapter 2 (I'd like to understand the point of closure systems better)
|
| May 27 | Distributive and modular lattices | Chapter 8; Chapter 9. And a question to ponder. Try not to get too distracted by the discussion of varieties and prime ideals in Chapter 8, since for finite lattices, this is all quite unnecessary.
