I used in another username to ask questions from this book, its second edition.
I made a google search and didn't find any instructor's SM for the second edition, but it seems numerade website has complete solutions for questions from its first edition.
Did he add more problems to the second edition?
I guess I should give another visit to the univ library, a lot to read and solve.
Happy, happy, joy joy... :oldbiggrin:

So there are 20 new problems, and some old ones that got deleted but perhaps still appear in numerade, maybe.

Finding solutions is different from solving problems.

i know.

But it's good to know how to do both so that you get unstuck when you hit a brick wall.
