J.Phys. \textbf{52}, 845 (1984)] to solve bound eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation is presented. Equations are further simplified and generalized for computing wave functions of any given one-dimensional potential, providing accurate solutions not only for bound states but also for scattering and resonant states, as demonstrated here for a few examples.Final version to appear in the Brazilian Magazine of Physics Teaching (http://www.sbfisica.org.br/noticias/publicacoes.shtml)Quantum PhysicsGeneral recursive solution for one dimensional quantum potentials: a simple tool for applied physicstext
