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.
