Problem statement (paraphrased from Yariv, Ch. 4 – Planar Dielectric Waveguides):

  1. The Link Rot: Most forum posts from 2008-2015 containing RapidShare or MegaUpload links are dead.
  2. The "Survey" Scam: Sites claiming "Download Now!" force you to complete a psychological survey, give up your credit card for a "free trial," or download a .exe file (virus).
  3. Wrong Edition: Many free PDFs are for the 4th or 5th edition. The 6th edition renumbered all the problems. Trying to use a 5th edition manual for a 6th edition class will result in completely mismatched questions.
