CHEM 4602

(3 credits) 3 hours lecture This is a second course in quantum mechanics, building on the introductory Chemistry or Physics courses, Elementary Quantum Mechanics. It develops more powerful mathematical methods and applies them to more realistic systems. The topics covered include: the theory of angular momentum, three-dimensional problems, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theories, applications to fine structure and radiation, systems of several particles, and scattering. Note: PHYS 4602 and CHEM 4602 are identical courses. Only one of these courses will count towards GPA calculation and graduation.
