Office hour: Wednesday, 6-7 pm, Serin E
270. You can also always ask questions by e-mail (I
usually respond in less than 12 hours), stop by my office at any time, or
schedule additional appointments via e-mail.
Lectures: Monday
and Wednesday, 1:40 – 3:00 pm, ARC-108. It is strongly
recommended to read the material before class. This way you will benefit
from lectures most. Ask questions about something you do not understand. Ask
questions during lectures, office hours and after the class.
Textbook: "Principles of quantum
mechanics" by R. Shankar, 2nd ed., New York : Plenum
Press, c1994. This book seems the best choice for our class - it is
self-contained, detailed, and accessible. There are plenty of other excellent books on quantum mechanics. You might find the discussion
of some topics in these books very helpful. I suggest that you browse through
all of them to have an idea about other resources available to you.
Syllabus: In the second semester I plan to cover
Shankar Chapters 16-21 as well as some additional material. Take a look at
a list of topics we will cover.
Homework: There is a
homework assignment each 1-2 weeks. It will be graded and returned to you.
Homework Grader: Prof. Claud Lovelace
Office: Serin W 327
E-mail: lovelace@physics.rutgers.edu Phone: (732) 445-2271
Grades: 50 % final, 50% homework. In borderline cases other factors, such as
class participation will be taken into account.
