This is a computation-oriented course aimed at enabling students to solve problems relating to square wells (finite and infinite), harmonic oscillators, the hydrogen atom and angular momentum.  The computation includes calculating average values and obtaining possible outcomes of measurements for systems.  It establishes the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and how they differ from classical mechanic.  The Schrodinger equation will be used to solve one-dimensional problems and to predict the existence of phenomena like tunnelling and energy band gaps.
