Office hour: Fridays, 3-4 pm, Serin E
270.
Lectures: Monday
and Wednesday, 1.40 – 3 pm, ARC-110. 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. It also covers most of
the material we will study in the first semester. 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 first semester I plan to cover
Shankar Chapters 1-7, 9-15 and (time permitting) Chapter 17. Take a look at a
detailed list of topics we will cover.
Homeworks: There will be
a homework assignment each 1-1.5 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: 40 % final, 30% midterm, 30% homework. In borderline cases other
factors, such as class participation will be taken into account.
