ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS NOTICE

Please do not email me to get solutions and/or answers to these problems. I will not give them
out under any circumstances nor will I respond to any requests to do so. The intent of these
problems is for instructors to use them for assignments and having solutions/answers easily
available defeats that purpose.
