On my side (al.rivero@gmail.com) I only have the solutions of the first part, please email me privately AND (feign some interest about my rants (say, arxiv 0710.1526) OR provide some other interesting collection of problems and solutions)

Hey guys ... could someone send the solution to Zwiebach to this email address please?

jmcarter17 at rogers.com

thanks in advance!
 
okay, i just emailed them to you the file is large though

Hello everyone!

I hope it is not too late!
I'm still desperately looking for the solution...I'm planning to study independently.

So could anybody please e-mail me a copy of the solutions to the "Zwiebach" book?

My email is pmx22@daum.net

Thank you very much!
I really appreacite it.

Yes it is too late. All the main institutions have announced they will close their string theory programs and main editorials have decided not to keep printing or distributing texts on this topic. Teachers have been relocated to Classical Mechanics lectures or disbanded. The arxiv has announced he will be barring access to string preprints except for proven historical purposes.

Alejandro -

This is definitely not my area, but is there some resource that verifies what you just said?
It doesn't seem credible that all the string programs would simply crash. Unless I missed something - which is quite probable.

Gosh - think how many preprints, books, etc., would be in the junk pile...
 
Well I was not trying to be credible :smile: Just amazed about the expression "I hope it is not too late!"

Hi guys,
as I was searching for the solutions of the Zwiebach-book, I stumbled upon this thread. Like the most of you, I've recently begun working through the book by myself, getting stuck at the problems at times. I would really appreciate it if anyone could send the solutions (preferably in .pdf format) to s_sebastiaan[at]hotmail.com

Cheers
 
Hi, I'ld like the solutions to Zwiebach as well. My e-mail address is quicksilver06 [at] hotmail.com .

Thanks
 
Hello. I hate to bring this up again, as it seems to have been going on for years, but I am attempting to work through this text this summer (I am a mathematics graduate student and am very much considering mathematical physics). The purely mathematical questions seem to be quite easy, but the physics is semi-challenging. I would very much appreciate the solutions to check my physics.

looking for solutions to the Zwiebach's book

I have just started going through the Zwiebach's book, and looking to check my solutions. Could someone email the solutions to Zwiebach to me please?
Thanks!

I have a pair of pdf's with solutions up to chapter 16 and missing some of the quick calculations. Is that what you are sending out? If it is more than that, please send a copy to

That's what I have too except that I have a third short file with typed solutions for chapter 12. At first sight they look like the same as the handwritten solutions of that chapter included in the other two large files (without the graphs) so it's probably not worth it to send that short file.

UPDATE:


I have sent the three files I have to the last dozen or so people who requested a copy in this thread. Some posts are a bit old so I apologize if some people have already received the files. The first file is over 6 MB in size (with the second one about 1.44 MB) so I am not sure if all e-mailer will be able to handle it. I sent them from my gmail account.

OK, thanks.
