Suggested Problems

These problems will not be picked up or graded, but they will be similar to the problems on the quizzes and exams, and I would recommend working some of them.  Most of the problems are paired, with the odd-numbered problems having an answer in the back of the book, and the even-numbered problems being of a similar type, but without an answer given.
