PHY 323Modern Physics I3

In this introduction to quantum mechanics, we review the inadequacy of classical physics and the need for a probabilistic description of nature. Schrodinger's equation will be solved and statistical thermodynamics will be introduced. Time permitting this course will touch on electron spin and Feynman's sum over histories approach.
