A mathematical formulation in which one seeks to find scalar values (eigenvalues) and corresponding functions (eigenfunctions) that satisfy a given operator equation under specified conditions.

AMONG those who are trying to acquire a general acquaintance with Schrödinger's wave-mechanics there must be many who find their mathematical ... to determine the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions ...

It then presents the angular momentum operators, their eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Finally, it covers the theory of angular momentum addition. In this module we will introduce the course on the ...
