Student Solution Manual for Essential Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences
This Student Solution Manual provides complete solutions to all the odd-numbered problems in Essential Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences. It takes students through each problem step-by-step, so they can clearly see how the solution is reached, and understand any mistakes in their own working. Students will learn by example how to select an appropriate method, improving their problem-solving skills.

"Problem solving skills can only be developed by solving problems, and here students can gorge on many stimulating problems … this book can be recommended as [a] thorough, readable, mathematical methods textbook for undergraduates on a par with the book of Boas. As Paul Dirac said "God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world", and students will not go far wrong by beginning their journey into mathematical physics here."
