You're probably asking about the even numbered problems? At the moment I'm covering all the odd numbered problems in order to cover chapters more quickly. After I'm done these (only 6 chapters to go) I'll return to the beginning of the textbook and cover the evens. It'll take a while though, and probably I'll complete sometime in the summer. Best wishes, Shaun

Hi there, thanks for asking! I finished up to chapter 4, and just started the chapter 5 evens. I'll probably finish 1 chapter per week on average. If you enter your email at the bottom of the page you'll be part of my newsletter I use for announcing chapter completion. All the best, Shaun
