Video Preface:

Welcome to the website for A Student's Guide to the Schrödinger Equation, and thanks for visiting. As with my other Student's Guides, the purpose of this site is to supplement the material in the book by providing resources that will help you understand the mathematical techniques used to derive and solve the Schrödinger Equation as well as the physics principles behind the mathematics. On this site you'll find:

Complete solutions to every problem in the book
From this page, you'll be able to get a series of hints to help you solve each of the chapter-end problems in the text, or you can see the full solution to each problem straight away. Just use the menu on the left to click on one of the Chapters, select "Problems," and pick the problem for which you'd like some help.

Video podcasts
For each of the five chapters in the text, I've recorded a series of video podcasts in which I explain the most significant principles, equations, and figures contained within that chapter.

Supplemental material and references
You'll also find documents and references to additional information about the following topics:

• Eigenvector/eigenvalue examples
• Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure
• Uncertainty and variance
• Alternative "derivations" of the Schrödinger equation

I hope you find the material on this site helpful, and I'm interested in any comments you may have as to how this site (and the text) could be more useful to you. Thanks for your time.
