Chapter 2, Section 1 #18, Section 5 #1,3,5, and the following
(a) Given a locally free sheaf of finite rank F on a locally ringed
space X, describe the transition matrices of the dual sheaf in
terms of those of F.

Chapter 2, Section 5 #14,15,16,17,18 (note: these problems are
especially hard but also especially important and interesting, do as
much of them as you can, only please make sure you read them carefully
and understand the statements, in many textbooks these are done in the
text)

Chapter 2, Section 6 #1,8, Section 7 #1
Also prove the following:
If X is integral, then any nonzero morphism of invertible sheaves is
injective, any generically injective morphism of locally free sheaves
is injective (hint: first prove that a locally free sheaf has no
torsion subsheaf, where by a torsion sheaf we mean a sheaf whose
support has codimension > 0).
