Texts: Lectures in Quantum Mechanics by Baym is the recommended primary text; HW exercises will be assigned from Baym. Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics (or 2nd edition by Sakurai and Napolitano) is also useful.

Lecture Times:MW 11:00-12:20pm, MHA 2623.

Discussion Session Thursdays 5-6pm, MHA 5623

Other recommended resources: Professor McGreevy's lecture notes , Weinberg's Lectures on Quantum Mechanics.

Homework: It is essential to do your exercises. Many of the assigned problems have solutions that can be found online -- try to resist that, it's cheating both yourself, and it is technically, officially cheating. Working together in groups is fine, and encouraged, as long as everyone is working.

Midterm:Monday Feb 12, in class.

Final: Friday March 23, 11:30-2:30.

Grading: Homework: 25%, Midterm: 25%, final 50%.

Topics: Path Integral. Symmetry in QM. Approximation methods (main topic), including time independent and time-dependent perturbation theory. Interaction with electromagnetism, Einstein's A,B coefficients. Scattering theory. Identical particles.
