Prof. Lievens Weebly - practice problems/exams
Suggested HW from Vollhardt and Schore, 8th Ed.
Here are some suggested end-of-chapter problems from the 8th edition. In 6th and 7th editions they are just a few numbers off. They (mostly) match the suggested HW problems from Nasiri and Lievens, but I tried to pick only the most relevant problems from each chapter. You will need the solutions manual to check your answers, a used copy of whichever edition you'd like (6th, 7th or 8th) will be just fine.
