ACTIVITIES

These activities are intended to serve instructors and students who are using this book in and out of class.  Others may find the activities useful in understanding the main points of the book.

Instructor's Manual now available!  Contact Prentice-Hall.

I've also given you access to Powerpoint slides that I created, some of which DO NOT appear in the book.  These can be used as supplements as overheads and handouts.  (new slides from forthcoming 3rd edition being added now)
