Suggested problems
I do not expect you to solve all the problems, nor am I going to check
them in any way. What I do recommend you to do is to
look through all the problems and to
make sure that you can solve them.
Pay special attention to "text problems".
10th edition issues.
I did my best to find these problems in the 10th edition. For the future:
the official textbook for the course is the 9th edition, so it's your
responsibility to find the problems. Also, please keep in mind that
10th edition lacks lots of problems and topics and is useless in general.
