Preface
Despite our best efforts, there is little chance that these solutions are error-free. Please let us know of any mistakes you find, so that we can correct them. Special thanks to the public libraries of Berlin, Maryland; Columbia, North Carolina; and Clarksville, Virginia for their hospitality, and to the governments and private benefactors that fund them. They allowed these solutions to be written under more pleasant conditions than we expect most students will experience. Elizabeth Allman
