One of the best ways for a student to develop a complete understanding of difficult concepts is by working through and solving problems. This Solutions Manual accompanies John Harte's Consider a Spherical Cow, 2nd Edition, restating the 101 homework problems and including detailed solutions.Written to develop students' high level of creative problem-solving skills, the homework exercises cover the tools and topics developed in the main text. These all-original problems, about half of which are open-ended, have been thoroughly road tested in Harte's courses over the years.
