Thank you very much for that. I may start reading those tonight.
For you, I tracked down a textbook on Library Genesis specifically because the full instructor's solution manual is also available there. Please download these and store on some kind of flash drive so that you will have them for later should you become curious.

Thanks again for the essays by Michel Houellebecq!
UPDATE: I was able to read it in one sitting before sleeping. To have someone like Houellebecq say that The World as Will and Representation is the most important book in the world gives me confirmation that I have been on the right path all along. Also, now when I look back at my resistance to Nietzsche's "whistling in the dark", it all makes so much sense.
I wonder why Nietzsche's books were so accessible while I had to discover Schopenhauer on my own. The first time I read the name Schopenhauer was in some kind of encyclopedia in a jail "library" while researching "German philosophy".
Anyway, the Instruction manual above goes with the text except does not have a chapter on Exponential Functions (chapter 7), so from there on, there is a correspondence ch 8 of text ----> Chapter 9 of solution manual .... n:n+1... but there exercises appear to be exactly the same match.
These would be very heavy books to lug around, so this is ideal .... you can take your sweet time, and when you need clarification, there is also a great book (with solutions) by Axler:

PEACE
As for Keller's comment about Schopenhauer being the enemy of the race, first of all, I think Schopenhauer would prefer to be called the enemy of the SPECIES since the word "race" represents more of a sociological construct, whereas species includes all of us who share common primate ancestors.
Species-Traitor?
This is a tough call. Suppose we are a rather unique accident, where we develop a consciousness which enables us to conclude that it is better never to have been born in the first place, which leads directly to ending the comedy of reproduction.
I guess some of us outsmart Mother Nature. Mother Nature depends on gorts and suckers, what Schopenhauer calls "dupes."
There is no winning in the game of Life. All are born to lose.
Keller is living with the common delusion that life is some kind of fight where one can triumph.
The species will not last forever anyway. In the end, this planet belongs to the insects and rodents.
