1*  Write outlines or descriptions of the proofs of Ceva's theorem and Menelaus' theorem.  Use a minimum of mathematical notation - the goal of the exercise is to understand the essence of the proofs without the clutter of notation and computation.  Ideally, after doing this exercise you should be able to reconstruct the proofs on your own (inserting the notation and computations where necessary).
