Fall 2011 version thanks to Automator and PDFpen

The first ten chapters are now bundled together into one pdf for the first time, including the solutions to odd-numbered exercises. The biggest improvement is that the pages are numbered from 1 to 309.

Thought I'd document the process for future reference. Here are the steps:

Procedure for creating one pdf for 92.321

1. Run Workflow "Build_OnePDF_321" using Automator. This pulls out the files in the right order and saves the combined files into a single pdf.
2. Open the resulting pdf in PDFpen
3. Run an Applescript I call "Number_Pages_KL_odd_even" that numbers the pages alternately on the bottom right and left.
4. Annotate front page with semester-specific information.

That's it. With the software executing the workflows, producing the final pdf takes only a few minutes, most of it in step 4.

Updated first half of Graph Chapter

The first half of Chapter 9, on graph theory, has been updated, with material on degree sequences and more computer implementation notes.

Supplementary Problems in Rings and Fields

I've just added the supplementary problems for Chapter 16: Available in either nb or pdf form.

Video introduction to field extensions and finite fields

I've just uploaded a video with a brief description of a field extension and the construction of a finite field.

Supplementary Exercises for Monoids and Automata

This is a small addition, just 11 additional problems at the end of Chapter 14, on languages. Personally, I haven't used this chapter much lately.
