Problem sets:

Click on the number or "See handout" of any highlighted problem set to download it. (Files are in PDF format, which can be read by the free Adobe Acrobat program.) Links labelled "LaTeX source" give source code that you can use if you do your homework in LaTeX; source code may require this file, macros.sty, to run. Right-click on .tex or .sty files to download; rename macros-sty.txt to macros.sty after you've downloaded it. (For some reason, historically, there have been problems with downloading files named .sty.)
