LaTeX template for homework exercises
The following template presents a nice format for organizing solutions to DeGroot and Schervish exercises. This document is meant to begin covering chapter 1. The format is lifted directly from that of Schervish's Student Solutions Manual for the text ... which, by the way, is one of the finest such solution manuals I have seen. It was written by Schervish himself, and it covers all the odd-numbered exercises.
