Here are some reports and analytic solution codes for some code verification problems. While some of the problems are well-known, they can have surprisingly complex solutions. The codes are released under LA-CC-05-101 and LA-CC-07-020

Please cite the relevant references if you publish a piece of work that use these codes, pieces of these codes, or modified versions of them. If you're nice, offer co-authorship of the publication. At best, you'll love these programs so much that you'll send great wads of cash to me.
