Some of the problems assigned below are not included in the packet, and can be found on the physics department website.

Abe Fetterman's "plasmagicians" site is down unfortunately, but many of the solutions on the site can be found at: http://www.pppl.gov/~afetter/

I also recently found solutions to some problems put together by previous Russian students: Russian solutions
