The discussion revolves around the second edition of a specific textbook, highlighting the absence of an instructor's solution manual for this edition. Users noted that the Numerade website offers complete solutions for the first edition, raising questions about whether the second edition includes additional problems. It was confirmed that the second edition has 20 new problems, while some old problems may have been removed but could still be found on Numerade. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between finding solutions and actually solving problems, stressing the importance of mastering both skills to overcome challenges in learning.

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

So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
