Abstract: We examine in detail the method introduced by Sanchez-Castro, Bedell, and Wiegers (SBW) to solve Landau's linearized kinetic equation, and compare it with the well-known standard method introduced by Abrikosov and Khalatnikov (AK). The SBW approach, hardly known, differs from AK in the way that moments are taken with respect to the angular functions of the Fourier transformed kinetic equation. We compare the SBW and AK solutions for zero-sound and first-sound propagation speeds and attenuation both analytically in the zero and full polarization limits, and numerically at arbitrary polarization using Landau parameters appropriate for thin ${}^3$He films. We find that the lesser known method not only yields results in close agreement with the standard method, but in most cases does so with far less analytic and computational
