Subject: error in HW

Some people have been having trouble with the
HW.
If you look at the series from the problem:
 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 - 4/11

These are not really prime numbers, but rather
odd numbers, right? After all, 9 divides by 3...
My quick assesment of
the problem was wrong (yes, professors do make errors!!).

So, we are dividing by odd numbers, not prime numbers.

Sorry for any hassle that this has caused the class!!
