The Unabomber has announced that "The people we are out to get are the scientists and engineers, especially in critical fields like computers and genetics. ... We advocate eliminating industrial society." [NYT. Robert L. Park, WHAT'S NEW, 5/12/95.] (Well, it's a project, of sorts. NASA has asked that the FBI remove its Unabomb page from NASA's , lest it trigger violence against NASA engineers.)

The text "Introduction to the Theory of Neural Computation" by Hertz, Krogh, and Palmer (HKP) does not come with exercises, so Arun Jagota has compiled some of his own.
