Syllabus
The core course will
cover essential
fundamentals of the Quantum Mechanics.
Expectations:
You should expect to spend approximately an hour of
outside class study for every hour in class in
addition to approximately an hour doing a homework
assignment. Many students find it helpful to form
study groups to work and discuss homework assignments
with other students which is encouraged. It is an
excellent way to learn physics. However, it is
expected that finally each student will know how
to work his problem for quiz, midterm or final
without help. If you get stuck on a homework problem,
see your instructor for help.
