• First pages of selected problems. All of the problems were supposed to start on right-facing pages so that filled-in solutions could be torn out and turned in. Unfortunately, some do not, so if the preceding problems are assigned the first pages of these problems will also be torn out. This problem will be remedied in subsequent printings, but for now the following first pages can be downloaded and printed by students (or by their instructors, who can photocopy and distribute them):
