, Preface for Seventh Edition
This manual contains solutions to all exercises in the text, except those odd-numЬered
exercises for which fairly lengthy complete solutions are given in the answers at the Ьack
of the text. Then reference is simply given to the text answers to save typing.
I prepared these solutions myself. While I tried to Ьe accurate, there are sure to Ьe the
inevitaЬle mistakes and typos. An author reading proof tends to see what he or she wants to
see. However, the instructor should find this manual adequate for the purpose for which it
is intended.

Preface for Eighth Edition
In keeping with the seventh edition, this manual contains solutions to all exercises in the
text except for some of the odd-numЬered exercises whose solutions are in the Ьack of the
text Ьook. I made few changes to solutions to exercises that were in the seventh edition.
However, solutions to new exercises do not always include as much detail as would Ьe
found in the seventh edition. My thinking is that instructors teaching the class would use
the solution manual to see the idea Ьehind a solution and they would easily fill in the
routine details.
As in the seventh edition, I tried to Ьe accurate. However, there are sure to Ьe some
errors. I hope instructors find the manual helpful.
