Math 272 Spring 2021

Vector fields, partial differentiation, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, multiple integrals, line integrals, the Wave and the Schrödinger equations, separation of variables method. Inner Product Spaces. Fourier Series.

I am currently teaching the Math 271/272 sequence at Colorado State University. This semester was taught completely online just like the fall 2020 semester for 271. The class had oral exams done virtually and I met with each student one-on-one.

Project

The project for this class was to find analytical solutions to the Schrödinger equation for a central Coloumb potential. In other words, we found explicit states for electrons in a hydrogen atom.
