Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences (3rd edition) by Mary .L. Boas, Does this book has separate solution manual?
The discussion centers on the availability of a solution manual for "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences (3rd edition)" by Mary L. Boas. Participants confirm that while a solution manual for the 2nd edition exists online, the 3rd edition's manual is less accessible. Users express a need for the manual for self-study purposes, while emphasizing the importance of obtaining a legal copy, preferably through Amazon. The conversation also touches on the differences between the 2nd and 3rd editions regarding problem quality and quantity.
PREREQUISITESStudents, self-learners, and educators in mathematics and physics seeking guidance on obtaining solution manuals and understanding textbook editions.
fluidistic said:Edit: I think so. On the internet I've found the solution to the second edition and 1 website claims there's the solution manual for the 3rd.
Edit2: I think I've found it on the Internet. Is the last exercise of the last chapter the exercise 11.18? If so, then the answer to your question seems to be yes.
sphyics said:Yes the last exercise of the chapter is 11.18, can u share the link please. :) b'coz I'm in real need of the solution manual as I'm self studying this subject.
George Jones said:Providing a link to either a student or an instructor solution manual violates Physics Forums rules. If a student solution manual is available, then you should purchase a legal copy. If there is an instructor solution manual, it is meant for instructors.
sphyics said:yes I'm looking for legal copy planning to buy through amazon; BTW if i don't have an instructor, i mean I'm instructing myself, hope so that's not an offense. :) by getting hands on instructor manual.
George Jones said:Before sending a manual, usually a publisher tries to verify that a person is an instructor at an institution.
sphyics said:i don't think so, its easily available here https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471099201/?tag=pfamazon01-20
sphyics said:Any idea about the differences in both the edition (2nd and 3rd edition) in terms of number and quality of problems.
George Jones said:I was referring to an instructor solution manual that contains solutions to all problems, not a student solution manual, to which you gave a link, that gives solutions to selected problems. I have been asked by publishers a number of times for verification that I am an instructor.
I have taught from the second edition, but I have yet to look at the third edition.
