L. Boas, *Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences*, 3rd ed., Wiley, 2005.\n\nThe project is intended to collect original solution writeups, section summaries, computational checks, and code for reproducing plots or numerical examples in Jupyter notebooks.\n\n## Status\n\nSolutions for all problems in Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 are available as notebooks. However, only sections 1.1 through 1.13 and 4.1 have been verified; all the other notebooks are drafts and may still need verification, revision, or additional computational checks.\n\n## Contents\n\n- `ch01/`: section-specific solution notebooks for Chapter 1, named `sec01.ipynb` through `sec16.ipynb`.\n- `ch02/`: section-specific solution notebooks for Chapter 2, named `sec01.ipynb` through `sec17.ipynb`.\n- `ch03/`: section-specific solution notebooks for Chapter 3, named `sec01.ipynb` through `sec15.ipynb`.\n- `ch04/`: section-specific solution notebooks for Chapter 4, named `sec01.ipynb` through `sec13.ipynb`.\n- `compose.yaml`: Docker Compose service for running JupyterLab.\n- `.env.example`: example local notebook port and token settings.\n- `img/`: supporting images used by this README and companion notebooks.\n- `LICENSES/`: full license texts for original prose and source code.\n\n## Running Notebooks\n\nThe easiest way to run the notebooks is with Docker Compose. The notebook service uses `quay.io/jupyter/scipy-notebook:python-3.13.13`.\n\nCreate a local `.env` file from the example:\n\n```sh\ncp .env.example .env\n```\n\nEdit `.env` if needed:\n\n```env\nNOTEBOOK_PORT=8888\nNOTEBOOK_TOKEN=boas\n```\n\nStart JupyterLab:\n\n```sh\ndocker compose up\n```\n\nOpen any notebook. For example, Chapter 3 Section 11 is:\n\n```text\nhttp://127.0.0.1:8888/lab/tree/ch03/sec11.ipynb?token=boas\n```\n\nIf you change `NOTEBOOK_PORT` or `NOTEBOOK_TOKEN`, update the URL accordingly.\n\n## Development Setup\n\nIf you plan to commit changes to this repository, run this once after cloning. This keeps notebook diffs cleaner and runs the project's checks before each commit:\n\n```sh\nuv tool install nbdev pre-commit\nnbdev_install_hooks\npre-commit install\n```\n\n## Source\n\n![Alt text: Book cover of Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences, third edition, by Mary L.
