Solved Problems in Quantum and Statistic

This document outlines the contents of a textbook on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. It is divided into three parts. Part I provides the theoretical background, covering topics such as the Schrodinger equation, harmonic oscillators, angular momentum, spin, and thermodynamic ensembles. Part II contains problems and applications of quantum mechanics concepts. Part III focuses on problems in statistical mechanics, including thermodynamics, different statistical ensembles, kinetic theory, and Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac gases. The document concludes with references and an index.
