Ken Steacy on Desert Bus

Ken Steacy, the reknowned comic artist, is on Desert Bus the second night, auctioning off amazing stuff. A remarkable drawing of a destroyed Toronto went for only $1100 and I was really tempted... Amazing guy!

About them subgroups

A few days ago I finished the theory about $\Gamma^2$ and $\Gamma^3$. I'm still lacking the part for the commutator subgroup, but I think I'm starting to see the light.

The Desert Bus for Hope!

51 hours in. Watched most of it so far. Let's see how far it'll go....

Handed in Part 1

Yesterday evening I went to the university and gave my prof the first 30 pages I've corrected so far. A few hours later I noted a grievous mistake. Oh well. Correcting part 2 and writing part 3. I kinda hope that part 1 will suffice, though^_^.

Subgroups

The day before yesterday I talked to Alexander Rahm, whom I got to know by a drawing of his on a blackboard in the Übungssaal, that represented the modular graph. I was extremely nervous about that and inquired to find out who had written that.

He pointed me to some very interesting literature (Brown) that I can use as a reference. Also he remarked, that the modular graph is also called "Serre's graph" which to google returned many more results.

Also, he made it quite clear, that I should concentrate more on subgroups, since the modular group itself is very well understood. So, I'm trying to adapt my theory to $\Gamma^2$, $\Gamma^3$ and the commutator subgroup. It is kind of late to begin with a new dev cycle, but I fear it will be necessary, as the lack of treatment of subgroups always loomed over the whole thing.

72 pages

728kB and mostly feature complete. There is a major chapter about subgroups missing, but I have no idea where to put it. It's a mess, but I feel like I won't see the bigger picture without correcting on paper.

Riddle #2 (easy)

As is often with the absence-words

It's difficult to describe

67 pages

669 kB PDF. Two chapters missing, images are only roughly strewn in. Final thesis should be around 70 pages. Yay!

I hope you had a better Halloween than I did...

EDIT: Just resizing the images pushed the count to 69, so maybe 80 is a better approximation.
