No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1989–90 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Historical background; the differential equation approach to quantum mechanics; treatments of “solvable” problems such as the particle-in-a-box, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotator and the hydrogen atom; introduction to approximation methods for more complicated systems. For Honours students only
As printed in the 1992–93 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
