Abstract

We present details of a new solution method for the bound energy states of a quantum particle in a one-dimensional symmetric finite square well potential. The solution is obtained in a clear way by introducing a simple method that relies on the use of two auxiliary functions. The approach is straightforward and leads to the well-known even and odd parity wave function solutions of the problem without having to do any a priori assumptions about the nature or symmetry of the quantum states.
