Here are the problem sets used in the
course. Each problem set's folder should contain the original .tex file and
(hopefully) all of the images that appear in the assignment. Most of the
folders contain .ps or .pdf files of the assignments as well.
Sorry folks,
even though the solutions appear in the folders, they are not accessible.
