Seeking Complementary University Resources for Mary L Boas' Math Methods Book

In summary, the individual is self-studying the book "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary L. Boas and is looking for a good university website to complement their studies. They found a page on the University of California website with extra handouts in PDF format, but are also interested in finding similar pages from other universities. They also mention that the links to problem sets, solutions, and practice exams on the UoCalifornia website are locked. They ask if anyone knows of other websites for reference and apologize for posting in the wrong section.

Sorry if this is the wrong section, it wouldn't let me post in the Science Learning Material area.

Basically I started self-studying Mary L Boas book Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences. I've seen a lot of great things about the book and I know it's very popular in Mathematical Methods classes.

I was wondering if someone know a good University website that I could use as a complement with the book. I found this page on the University of California website, it has quite a lot of extra handouts in pdf format to cover some of the things Boas doesn't cover properly.

There's also the link to the other 2 courses in the serie (mathematical methods 2 and 3) that are also accessible to the public. Is there any other similar pages from a different University that I could use as a reference? What I don't like about the UoCalifornia website is that the links to the problem sets, solutions and practice exams are locked.


Thanks in advance and sorry again for posting in the wrong section. Hopefully someone can move my post!
