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

AI Thread Summary
Self-studying Mary L. Boas' "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" has prompted a search for complementary university resources. A user found useful materials on the University of California website, including extra handouts in PDF format, but noted that some problem sets and solutions are locked. They seek additional university resources that provide open access to similar materials. A suggestion was made to search Google with the query "mathematical methods mary boas site:edu" to find more course pages that utilize the book. The discussion highlights the need for accessible educational resources to enhance self-study efforts.

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!

type the following in google and hit enter

"mathematical methods mary boas site:edu"

this will probably give you links to the course pages where this book is used as textbook and they may have additional resources.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
