• [6/29/2012] It turns out the solution to the even numbered problems in the book cannot be posted online or any public forum.

A copy of Students solution is available on reserve at SERC library.

• [6/29/2012] Found a nice guide about how to use the solutions manual. See link. Also, it a good idea to form study group(s) so that you can share the Student Manual solve problems together and this can be done at SERC (possibly over weekends).
