Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 3rd Edition
Overview of this Course:
This is a one semester course that deals with the physics of matter and energy at a small scale. Objects the size of atoms do not behave like anything that you have any direct experience with, and this course will discuss the weirdness directly and explain the rules that allow us to calculate the probability of a particular occurrence in a given situation.
I expect that you will have had 3 semesters of calculus, as well as having taken the classical physics sequence and differential equations too. This is not an easy class, (but it will be fun) and you should expect to put in a fair amount of work reading and working on weekly problem sets.
Prerequisite(s): PHY 211, MAT 350, and one other 300-level Physics course, or permission of instructor.
