Quantum mechanics (mathematics): exercise book

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding an introductory quantum mechanics book that emphasizes mathematical concepts and includes numerous exercises. The user has reviewed the Italian book "Picasso" but found it lacking in standard exercises. Key topics of interest for exercises include angular momentum, spin, indistinguishable particles, Hamiltonian in various coordinate systems, and perturbation theory. The user has also expressed interest in the book by Liboff, which was noted as potentially interesting.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with mathematical concepts relevant to physics
  • Knowledge of angular momentum and spin in quantum systems
  • Experience with Hamiltonian mechanics and perturbation theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications" by Nouredine Zettili for exercises
  • Explore "Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development" by Leslie E. Ballentine for mathematical insights
  • Investigate online resources for quantum mechanics exercises and solutions
  • Look into "Quantum Mechanics: A Paradigms Approach" by David H. Frisch for additional practice problems
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for quantum mechanics exams, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics.

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 :)

I took a look at it and it seems interesting!
Anything else?
