Hydrogen Atom Tables: Find Zeros of Spherical Bessel Function

I've searched google for some decent tables but couldn't find any. I'm trying to collect
Normalized Spherical Harmonics
Associated Legendre Polynomials
Zeros of the Spherical Bessel Function
Normalized Radius Function for the Hydrogen atom
etc.

I'm allowed a sheet with as much of these as we can fit on it for my next quantum test, so I'm trying to find them, but they are just NOWHERE online past like n=2 (if at all). And I do realize I could create my own, but my time is better spent doing something else besides menial math (I don't use symbolic solvers).

Thanks for the links/tables (hopefully)!

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
