Quantum Mechanics 1: e-Gear

Below is a growing list of on-line course materials an links. Links marked with an asterisk (*) point to PDF files; to view them, you may need to obtain the proper plug-in and Reader software from Adobe .

Last years' exams and study material

• A handout on piecewise constant and continuous potentials: solutions and boundary conditions*

• Some sample quizzes*

• The1st mid-term exams: '98* (and its solution*),  '02*, '03*

• A handout on some instructive applications of perturbation theory*, and
on Angular mometa & the Wigner-Eckardt theorem*

• The 2nd mid-term exams: '98* (and its solution*),  '02*,  '03*

Both mid-term exams have an in-class and a take-home component. After having done as much as possible in-class (in 1 hour), the students complete and correct their work over the next couple of days, at 2/3 of credit. That is, a proposed take-home solution (or part thereof) supersedes the in-class attempt. However, as take-home effort only carries 2/3 of the credit, students should rework only those (parts of) problems where they can successfully solve more than 150% of what they did in class.

• The final exams: '98*, '02*, take-home and comprehensive. 

Some possibly useful links:

• Visual Quantum Mechanics by the good folks at Kansas State University.

• Computational Physics by the good folks at Oregon State University.

• Animated (Quantum) Physics by the good folks at Seven Stones Multimedia.
