Zerkor said:so, is it okay to skip the problems or should I solve them all?
NathanaelNolk said:I guess, you should try your best, and see which problems you're able to solve. If you see you can't solve any of them, I suggest re-reading the chapter. If you can do I'd say 60-70% of the exercices, you can move on to the next chapter. But I don't know much about Griffiths Introductory, so if it really is hard, then you should just skip the problems that are way to hard, at your level of understanding.
Isn't there anyone (a teacher, a physics student or such) who could help you out with this book ?
F=qE said:As an undergrad QM student 2 years ago, I did QM with the Griffiths book. I argue it is far more important to be able to do the problems than memorize the derivations. My exams were never straight derivations. The problems really aren't too hard from Griffiths - some were tedious algebra, but never crazy impossibly hard. It's designed for a 3rd year undergrad.
My point exactly. If you (OP) wanted to see if you were doing the problems right - all you needed was a simple google search.NathanaelNolk said:Is that what you're looking for ? <<link deleted>>
My you in the above was directed at the op, sorry ill edit that.NathanaelNolk said:By now, you can even legally find entire textbooks, so I guess you shouldn't have too much trouble finding the solutions of such a book.

No, it is not necessary to memorize all the derivations in Quantum Mechanics. Understanding the concepts and principles is more important than memorizing the equations and derivations.
Memorizing the derivations may give you a better understanding of the equations, but it does not necessarily make you a better scientist. It is more important to have a strong understanding of the underlying concepts and how to apply them in problem-solving.
Understanding the concepts is more important than memorizing the equations in Quantum Mechanics. The equations are simply tools used to solve problems, but understanding the concepts allows you to apply those tools in different scenarios.
Memorizing the derivations may make it easier to solve certain problems, but it is not a guarantee. It is more important to have a strong understanding of the concepts and how to apply them in different scenarios.
To effectively study and learn the derivations in Quantum Mechanics, it is important to first understand the underlying concepts and principles. Then, practice solving problems and applying the equations in different scenarios. It may also be helpful to create study aids such as flashcards or concept maps.
