Course objectives:	Solve the Schrodinger equation in spherical coordinates and apply it to teh problem of the Hydrogen Atom, and theory of Angular Momentum(Orbital and Spin)

	Deal with real-world quantum mecahnics. This requires developing approximation techniques by using our repertiire of exact solutions: infinite square well, harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom etc. with the Hamiltonian including interacion terms that can't be treated exactly. These interaction terms are called perturbations.
	Introduce an elementary description of the quantum mechanical theory of scattering, which is one of the fundamental tools of physics used in probing atomic and subatomic domains.

Course Policy :
Quizzes:	There will be unannounced quizzes every week.
	You are encouraged to read the material before and after every lecture.
Homework:	Homework is an important part of the evaluation process. Problems will be assigned every week. Understanding and mastering this course is dependent on your effrt to work out assigned problems.

Exams:	There will be two exams and a final for this course. The date and
	time of these exams will be announced later. Final exam will be comprehensive.
