Question regarding HW1

Question regarding HW1

Hi, a question regarding the first homework set. 

Problem 5 contains the question: Determine the center of Dn, the dihedral group of order 2n. Justify your answer"

I think this is an abstract algebra question and wonder if we are really to solve it? 

Furthermore, I wonder for the first part of the same problem, if it's allowed to refer to Heine-Borel (if applicable) or if we are to show the compactness using open covers, finite subcovers etc? 

Many thanks in advance, 

Sam

Uh, 

I will upload a new version tomorrow, I used  the same template that I created for abstract algebra, the question might have been left there.


I would prefere you to use the definition as you will learn more. If you really want you can use Heine Borlänge, justify why you can :)
