Quantum Mechanics e-2, Bransden & Joachain

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for additional resources to supplement the textbook "Quantum Mechanics e-2" by Bransden & Joachain, which lacks sufficient worked examples and solutions for chapter questions. David seeks recommendations for a solutions manual or alternative sources of worked examples for undergraduate quantum mechanics. Respondents recommend "Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics" by Zaarur for its solved examples, as well as "Practical Quantum Mechanics" by Fluegge and the works of Constantinescu & Magyari. Additionally, D.J. Griffiths' textbook is suggested as a solid introductory resource with minimal mathematical prerequisites.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with basic quantum mechanics concepts
  • Understanding of mathematical principles relevant to quantum mechanics
  • Access to "Quantum Mechanics e-2" by Bransden & Joachain
  • Knowledge of supplementary texts like "Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics"
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics" for solved examples
  • Explore "Practical Quantum Mechanics" by Fluegge for additional exercises
  • Investigate the works of Constantinescu & Magyari for further problem sets
  • Study D.J. Griffiths' textbook for a comprehensive introduction to quantum mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in quantum mechanics, educators seeking supplemental teaching materials, and anyone looking to enhance their understanding of quantum mechanics through worked examples and solutions.

My intro QM class is currently using this text, but I find that there is not very many worked examples of problems, and there are no solutions for the chapter questions in the back.

My class assignments are not based out of the book, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a solutions manual I could find somewhere online, or if not a good source of worked examples for undergraduate quantum mechanics.

Thanks in advance.

David.

For a book with solved examples I would point you to Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics (Zaarur, IIRC, is one of the authors). Other fully solved exercise books are those of Constantinescu & Magyari and Fluegge's <Practical Quantum Mechanics>. But these 2 books contain more information than you probably need right now.

As for a textbook, many people think of D.J. Griffiths' text of being very good as an introduction with little mathematical prerequisites.
