Abstract
Known results regarding the projection of total spin states from product wavefunctions involving spin‐½ particles are generalized. It is shown that total spin states projected from product wavefunctions involving particles with arbitrary spin, but otherwise restricted to having either maximum or minimum z component of spin, are no more complicated in form than for the spin‐½ case.Keywords
