There is a longstanding conflict between extension and depth in the teaching of mathematics to physics students. This text intends to present an approach that tries to track what could be called the middle way'' in this conflict. It is the result of several years of experience of the author teaching the mathematical physics courses at the Physics Institute of the University of S o Paulo. The text is organized in the form of relatively short chapters, each appropriate for exposition in one lecture. Each chapter of the text includes a list of proposed problems, which have varied levels of difficulty, including practice problems, problems that complete and extend the material presented in the text, and some longer and more difficult problems, which are presented as challenges to the students. This is Volume 2S, and is the companion volume to Volume 2, which is dedicated to the Fourier transforms. It includes all the 79 problems proposed in the text, with complete solutions, which are detailed and commented. The solutions are organized according to the 12 chapters of the corresponding volume of the text.
