Final Exam Announcements

• The final exam will be this coming Monday May 11 from 12:00 to 3:00 in our normal lecture room, ARC-108.
• The exam will be open notes and open textbook (Shankar). No other books please.
• There will be six problems on the exam. You will be graded on any five of these of your choice.
• There will be one problem on path integrals but it will be very straight forward. Don't worry about the mathematical details you won't need to do much calculating. You will just need to know the basic concept of path integrals.
• There will be one problem similar to problem 3 on the midterm but definitely not as hard as part b of that problem.
• There will be one problem on the Dirac equation but it is meant to be fairly easy.
• There will be one problem on angular momentum and two problems on perturbation theory.
• These are all meant to be straight forward problems that test your grasp of the basic concepts. They are not as hard and not as mathematically involved as most of the homework problems were.
