=== Problem 2: dipole component ===
The magnitude of the dipole component of anisotropy generated by the Solar system's motion relative to the relic radiation equals $\Delta T_d\simeq3.35mK$. Determine the velocity of the Solar system relative to the relic radiation.

=== Problem 4: characteristic harmonic number ===
Show that the angular resolution $\Delta\theta$ is related to the maximum harmonic $l_{max}$ (in the spherical harmonics decomposition) as 
\[\Delta\theta={180^\circ}/{l_{max}}.\]
