Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the availability of solutions for exercises from the book "Quantum Mechanics" by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. Participants express concerns about preparing for exams without access to answer keys and seek alternative resources that provide similar exercises with solutions.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant mentions studying from the book and solving exercises but cannot verify their answers due to the lack of solutions.
  • Another participant notes that Instructor Solution Manuals are typically only available to instructors and suggests finding a similar book with solutions.
  • A later reply recommends the book "Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications" by Zettili, which is said to contain many solved problems.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that solutions for the exercises in Cohen-Tannoudji's book are not available, and there is a consensus on the need for alternative resources. However, there are no competing views presented regarding the availability of solutions.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the completeness of their preparation due to the lack of solutions, and there is a reliance on finding alternative texts that may not fully align with the original material.

Hey guys,
I studied with this book now for some weeks. The last few days I solved a lot of exercises to prepare for the exam, but unfortunately I can not check if my answers are correct. There are no solutions in this book. Does anyone know if the solutions are availabe somewhere? This would be very very helpful. Thanks in advance. :-)

Greetings

Edit: Ok I just found other threads and red that the solutions are probably not available...which is bad because my Prof. really sticks to this book. :P I should probably search for a book with similar exercises (e.g. using braket) AND solutions.

Welcome to the PF.

Yes, Instructor Solution Manuals are only sold to instructors (hence the name). The best approach is as you say, to find a similar book that has half of the problem solutions in the back of the book. :smile:

The book Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications by Zettili has many many solved problems,
