, Preface for Seventh Edition
This manual contains solutions to all exercises in the text, except those odd-numbered
exercises for which fairly lengthy complete solutions are given in the answers at the back
of the text. Then reference is simply given to the text answers to save typing.
I prepared these solutions myself. While I tried to be accurate, there are sure to be the
inevitable 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-numbered exercises whose solutions are in the back of the
text book. 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 be found
in the seventh edition. My thinking is that instructors teaching the class would use the
solution manual to see the idea behind a solution and they would easily fill in the routine
details.
As in the seventh edition, I tried to be accurate. However, there are sure to be some
errors. I hope instructors find the manual helpful.
