Discuss with the TA if you have any question about your homework
grading.
Homework:
( 注意: 不收遲交作業, 對抄襲或作弊零容忍 )
Doing
the
problem sets is an extremely important part of learning. You can't
learn the subject by just listening to the lectures without working
through things by yourself. They also contain some of the important
topics that we won't be able to cover in class. You can discuss the
problem
sets with your classmates, but you are not allowed to copy other
people's homework.
Each of you is required to write up your own homework following your
own understandings.
Each problem set is due about one week after its assignment in class.
The solutions will be given on this website immediately
after the class on the due day and hence late submition
will not be accepted.
So even if you couldn't finish you
should turn in
what you have done.
You should summit the HW to the TA's ahead of the deadline if for some
reason you
can't attend the class on the due day.
The following homework solutions are provided by TA.
Syllabus:
* 3D problems
* Variational methods
* Time-Independent perturbation
theory
* Irreducible spherical tensors and
the Wigner-Eckhart Theorem
* Time-dependent perturbation theory
* Scattering Theory
------------------------
實際進度將視課堂反應調整
