<br>Lecturer: Prof. Hsiu-Hau LIN
<br>Time: 08:30-09:50 on Tuesdays and Fridays
<br>Location: 普實203
<br>
<br>Textbook:
<br>A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics (Second Edition) by Townsend
<br>
<br>
<br>Course desc<x>ription:
<br>After reading many textbook, I have decided to ba<x>se my course materials on 
<br>Townsend’s wonderful textbook. To some extent, it is an amiable version of Sakuria’s 
<br>classic textbook (graduate level) on quantum mechanics. I shall follow Townsend’s 
<br>textbook closely for Tuesday lectures. As explained below, we will have discussion 
<br>sessions on Fridays. If no good questions pop out from you, I will fill in the gap with 
<br>more advanced materials related to the weekly topics. Selected homework problems 
<br>will be posted on the wikispace every week. Although you are not required to hand in 
<br>the answers, you are strongly encouraged to finish all of the selected problems — 
<br>solving problems is the necessary muscle-up.
<br>
<br>I will try to make the course self-contained in either physics or mathematical aspects. 
<br>However, basic knowledge of analytic mechanics and electromagnetism will be helpful 
<br>to digest the course contents. Familiarity with linear algebra, partial differential 
<br>equations and special functions is of course advantageous. But, it is more important to 
<br>raise questions and to educate yourself through various means including mutual 
<br>discussions.
