Freely available for use by everyone without asking for permission. HOWEVER, do not post copies of this document ANYWHERE (not on the public Internet and not on a private intranet) because copies make it impossible to keep the material up to date for everyone when I make corrections.

HOMEWORK EXERCISES

To avoid linking to these ungraded exercises, which would almost certainly lead to having pirate sites such as CourseHero used to post illegal copies that would be difficult to update, replace the string "index.htm" in the URL for this page by the string "homework1592" (without the quotation marks).

That subterfuge should suffice to prevent the Web spiders from finding the directory and should not appear in any search-engine results. Don't post the actual URL anwhere, please. Every time that happens, I have to change the random code on the directory name.... nuisance.
