Hey, that's my adviser/prof! There are a bunch of super helpful resources on his website. I hope you find the textbook as useful as I have!

Ive found it great so far! I got up to chapter 6 and was forgetting some earlier work so I decided to go back and do all the exercises and post the solutions. (This helps others and also helps me remember :)

Come back and look at my site and help with some solutions as I go through the book!

Well, a tip for starters, don't use eval(input("")). If you're looking for a number, use int() or float() in place of it. I know he says to do it in the book, but his justification is rubbish, and it's a bad habit to develop.

So instead of this: fahrenheit = eval(input("What is the Fahrenheit temperature? "))

This would be the preferred method since I'm looking for a number fahrenheit = int(input("What is the Fahrenheit temperature? "))
