Solutions for Shankar's Quantum Book

In summary, the conversation is about someone trying to self-study Quantum Mechanics using Shankar's "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" and looking for solutions to the exercises. They mention a website with solutions up to chapter 5 and ask if anyone knows where to find all the solutions or just the answers for verification. They also discuss a website that may be helpful but does not cover the entire book, and wonder why the preface claims to have solutions for every problem. They suggest emailing the author for solutions.

Hi,

I'm trying very hard to study Quantum Mechanics on my own using Shankar's "Principals of Quantum Mechanics".
Although the number of exercises is quite small, no answers are given.
Do any of you know of a site where I might verify my results ?

Greetz,
Leo

I'm also looking for them, or at least just the answers to verify mine, if anybody knows where to look please give me a heads up on it, thanks

Why does the preface of the book say a solution is provided to every problem when that's clearly not true?

You could try e-mailing the author.

Anybody has his email? Maybe he meant it's possible to solve all the questions in the book!(??)
