  • Another participant offers to provide a textbook and its solutions manual through private messaging.
  • Some participants suggest that a Google search might yield many results for the requested materials, questioning whether the original poster has attempted this.
  • A participant notes that while many books are available in PDF format, complete solutions manuals are harder to find, expressing a desire for manuals that only provide final answers rather than detailed solutions.

THANKS a lot!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If you PM me I can hook you up with a textbook and its solutions manual
 
I'd be willing to bet that a google search would turn up a lot of results for this. Have you tried it yet?

You would think so, but it actually is not. Most books you can find in PDF format, but the complete solutions manual is more difficult to find. I personal wish they would just have a manual that only had the final answers for all the problems and not the step by step method of how to get the answers.

With wolframalpha, much of the final answers can be obtained, but not for all questions.
