The mastery question for M4/5P12 will be on representations of quivers. The assigned reading is lectures 1 and 3 from Harm Derksen's Math 711 course here. Many other sources on quivers exist (e.g. Etingof et. al Introduction to representation theory which is also available in book form) and you are encouraged to read around, but the exam question will use the same notation and conventions as Derksen. You will not be allowed to take any printed material into the mastery exam.

Suggestions for compiling small-screen-friendly LaTeX documents:
(with thanks to Zichen Liu) One way to produce LaTeX documents which are more readable on a mobile phone or tablet is changing the documentclass line to \documentclass[a6paper,12pt]{article} and adding \usepackage[margin=2mm]{geometry} to the preamble. For other ideas, see
