This discussion centers on acquiring solutions for exercises in Zwiebach's "A First Course in String Theory." Participants share their experiences with the book, noting its clear style and mathematical focus, while expressing the need for solutions to the exercises. Solutions can be accessed via Cambridge University Press by using the username "lecturer" and password "cambr1dge," although some users report that this password is no longer valid. Additionally, one user offers to share PDF solutions for nearly all exercises, emphasizing that they are not copyrighted.
PREREQUISITESUndergraduate physics students, self-learners in string theory, and educators seeking supplementary materials for teaching string theory concepts.

Fine. A search in emule will reveal too the existence of .pdf and .djvu versions of a short version of the book (last chapters are lacking), vey useful to do searches in the whole text.

selfAdjoint said:If "it" means string theory in Zweibach, yes. The other things you mentioned should be discussed on their appropriate forums.
maverick280857 said:By the way, is Zwiebach's book available in India somewhere? I need a copy of the book (I don't have it now)...if someone here happens to know where I can get it, please do let me know.

Have a look at http://www.firstandsecond.com/" ).
I believe Cambridge University Press will not start producing a low-price edition of the book unless they start getting a significant number of orders from people in India (or elsewhere in the developing countries).
Btw, one can purchase really cheap copies of Physics and Mathematics classics from this bookstore. I have so far identified about 50 books which cost so little compared to other known bookstore prices that they make me want to cry for not knowing about FirstAndSecond.com before I started uni!Nitin

can someone please send me the pdf file with the answers to zwiebach's string book? my email is vagabond5711@yahoo.com.
thanks!
