        ABDUL J.JERRI is a Professor of mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Clarkson University, Potsdam, New York. He is the author of three other books besides the undergraduate textbook “Introduction to Integral Equations with Applications - Second Edition, Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999” for which this Student’s Solutions Manual is prepared. For books of the author see the last four pages of this book.
        Dr. Jerri’s research interests include the sampling expansion and its error analysis, integral and discrete transforms, iterative methods for nonlinear problems and the Gibbs phenomenon. He has authored more than forty research papers in these areas. Additionally, he has lectured on these topics at many universities and at various national conferences. He has also taught at three universities abroad.
         Dr. Jerri is a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Society of  Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He received the B.Sc. Degree in physics from the University of Baghdad (1995), the M.Sc. Degree in physics form Illinois Institute of Technology (1960), and the Ph.D. Degree in mathematics from Oregon State University (1967).

Preface

This Student's Solution Manual is prepared to accompany and mainly supplement the second edition of the author's text "Introduction to Integral Equations with Applications - Revised and Expanded" by A.J. Jerri, Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1999".  It contains detailed solutions to all the odd numbered problems in the text plus, occasionally, one even numbered problem in a section that may be of much importance to continuity of the subject discussed.  These worked out problems are selected as representative of each section's exercise sets.  Besides the exercises in the text we have also included solutions of other related problems in most of the sections under "Additional Solved Problems" with their statements and detailed solutions, and we placed them at the end of the exercises of their related section.  These problems include some challenging or very detailed ones that may help widen the scope of the related subject in the text.

    We may stress that this solutions manual is only to complement the essential step for solving the exercises, that is for the student to first attempt doing them before consulting this solutions manual.  Of course, both of these steps should come after studying the notes of the instructor on the particular section followed by reading that subject in the text, and last but not least studying and understanding the detailed examples in the text.  Many of the exercises can be approached with much ease after such understanding of the examples with the help of the (very often given) detailed hints at the end of each exercise.

    The solutions here are by no means the shortest or the only way of solving, and the student is encouraged to find other possible methods for the solutions, where answers are provided at the end of the text for all the exercises.

    For a fast convenient reference to the needed basic trigonometric identities and integrals for the solutions in this manual, we have listed most of them in the Appendix at the end of this Solutions Manual.
