AI Thread Summary
A 15-year-old self-studying physics and math is seeking problem sets with answers to enhance their understanding of quantum mechanics, specifically while working through Cohen-Tannoudji's textbook. Recommendations include an online set of problems and solutions found at a university website, which may be relevant to their studies. Additionally, "Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics" is suggested as a valuable resource, containing over 200 solved problems. A related forum thread discusses the merits of Cohen-Tannoudji's versus Shankar's textbooks in quantum mechanics, providing further context for learners.

Hey!

I'm fifteen and have been self-studying physics and math for quite some time now. I'm getting further into Cohen-Tannoudji and, while I do the exercises, I worry about whether or not I'm doing them correctly.

I'd like some problem sets with answers-- online or in book format-- that would tie into my studies. Thanks!

I'm guessing it's this book your working through
Cohen-Tannoudji, Claude. Quantum Mechanics. 2 vols. Wiley, 1977. ISBN: 0471164321
(reading for http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-05Fall-2004/CourseHome/)

I know very little about QM but googling I found this set of problems and solutions, I hope they are relevant:

Also in the thread below someone suggests "Schaums Outline Quantum Mechanics", it has over 200 solved problems.

Hope this helps.

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
