Quantum Quantum mechanics (mathematics): exercise book

AI Thread Summary
An individual is seeking recommendations for an introductory quantum mechanics book that focuses on mathematical aspects and includes numerous exercises to prepare for a written exam. They have previously reviewed the Italian book "Picasso" but found it lacking in standard exercises. Key topics of interest for exercises include angular momentum, spin, indistinguishable particles, Hamiltonians in various coordinate systems, and perturbation theory. They have already considered Liboff's book and are looking for additional suggestions.

Hi everybody
I'm currently looking for an introductory quantum mechanics book which emphasizes the mathematical aspects of it. I especially need exercises in order to pass a written exam, but I'd like to have even lots of examples.
I've already gone through the whole "Picasso" (it's an italian book but it has also been translated so maybe you know it), but I didn't like it a lot because it has just a few standard exercises.

Some of the topics I'd like to have lots of exercises about:
- angular momentum
- spin
- indistiguishable particles
- Hamiltonian in different sets of coordinates
- perturbation

Can you suggest me some books?

Thank you a lot :)

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
