Does anyone know if the student solutions manual is worth buying?

^No...it isn't any help. It's only selected odds. It skips a lot of steps and doesn't explain in detail. And I know it is not available at the campus book stores. Going to prof office hours is probably the best thing if you need help or posting your question on here (Rhea).

I bought the manual in the campus book stores. I actually think it IS helpful because you can look at similar problems and get ideas if you are stuck

It was too expensive to even consider because the book itself cost me $140. Plus the odd answers are already in the back of the textbook.

I agree with the idea that it is useful for ideas and understanding. It doesn't just plop an answer on top of you, nor does it hold your hand through the whole process. Being able to pick it for information is very helpful. And as for the cost, buy it used and sell it. For the net price it is probably worth it.


just a heads up, unlike most other classes this book isn't on cramster. But I would highly recommend it as a go to site for any other classes

I also think it is helpful though some of its explanations are not the best.
