The obvious solution would be to not provide access to the even-numbered answers to anyone. Students in poor countries would presumably be able to study with just the odd numbered questions (after all, university students are expected to do so). Requests from instructors could be answered with "If you can't solve these problems yourself, you have no business assigning them as homework.", or, if you're feeling particularly Kafkaesque, assume the're all actually students and congratulate them on having a particularly convincing return address, but no, you're still not going to help them cheat.

This does call for a rather more misanthropic attitude than you seem to have, though.

Last summer, around the time my mom passed, someone who teaches out of my book sent me a picture of her class. Just by coincidence this was near to where my mom and dad grew up in the 1940's. It was a room of bright people, all kinds of shades, who wanted the American dream and were working through Linear Algebra on their way up there.

So no, I'm not doing that. :-)

Please continue to stay steadfast in your approach in teaching mathematics and providing solutions. I bought your book, and love the fact you provide it freely online for all to use. Your approach addressed all of the concerns I had in my initial post and I see your book maintains mathematical rigor. This is honestly a breathe of fresh air. Thank you again. You are truly serving the ones that want to learn.
