, Problem and Case Material Scaled as to Difficulty
Each exercise, problem, and case in the text has been rated below as Basic, Medium, or Difficult.
Basic: Straightforward application of concepts, with few extraneous or complicating factors.
Medium: More rigorous application of concepts than in basic problems. Extraneous material may be
present and the student may have to use concepts in ways not specifically illustrated in the text. It is not
necessary to go beyond this level to give students challenging and thought-provoking homework.
Difficult: Unusually rigorous application of concepts that often includes extraneous data.
