SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the potential for publishing a self-created solutions manual for a MATLAB textbook. The author has independently solved all problems and seeks to share their solutions online without profit. They express confidence in the correctness of their answers and consider including a disclaimer for errors. The author questions the copyright implications of sharing their original solutions, as they do not include the textbook questions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MATLAB programming and problem-solving techniques
  • Knowledge of copyright laws related to educational materials
  • Familiarity with self-publishing platforms and protocols
  • Basic skills in creating disclaimers and user agreements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research copyright laws regarding educational content and self-publishing
  • Explore platforms for hosting educational materials, such as GitHub or personal websites
  • Learn about effective disclaimers and how to communicate with users regarding errors
  • Investigate the benefits of self-publishing for academic credentials and resumes
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and independent authors interested in sharing educational resources and understanding the implications of self-publishing academic solutions.

Hi,

So several semesters ago I was able to solve every problem from my MATLAB textbook and still have the file. I was wondering what would be the protocol on publishing this material. Not for profit or anything, just host it online some were. I believe that my answers are correct, but I'm sure it's not the bible or anything and would include a statement in the beginning of the code letting people to let me know that if they found a error to contact me. All the solutions are mine and my own material. I had no help from others and solved these problems before actually taking the course under the instructor. I did not included the questions themselves in my file, just the answers. So I don't see why this would be a copy right violation, since all the material is mine.

I've seen other things like this online before were a independent person posts something online of their solutions to all the problems in the book.

I don't want to just delete this solutions manual and would like to share it with others to help them learn the material. I believe that it might also look good on a resume? As self publishing a solutions manual to a degree related course?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Maybe contact the author of the textbook and work out something?
