My advice on the matters for the day (as listed in the calendar):
- Brenner et al (1961): If you haven't gotten the principle of the main experimental procedure of Brenner et al (1961), now is the time (Section B2 of the companion should be useful for this). In addition, the goal now is to understand the results in light of the experiment (Section B3).
- Problem Set 7: Question 3 of Problem Set 7 tests your understanding of the experiments of Brenner et al (1961). Try it out when you're ready. Also, if you care to examine (through Questions 1 and 2) Belozersky and Spirin (1958), one of the underpinnings of Brenner et al (1961), feel free to bring to class any issues that arise.
