Quotes from PHYS 472 Quantum Mechanics II, Fall Semester 2007

• Watch out: log-log scales always tend to fool you.
• You are all eligible to make a mistake with a delta function, I have been making mistakes my whole life.
• I can’t prove Bloch’s theorem so I will tell you a story instead.
• Those guys cannot appreciate physics, therefore we’re better than them.
• It’s just an integral! well I guess it’s two integrals, in three dimensions, so I guess really it’s just six integrals, but it’s still just an integral.
• If there were no h-bar we’d just have classical mechanics
• Sines and Cosines have a greater impact on your life than Airy functions.
• The reason you’ve not heard of Airy functions is just because they’re not a button on your calculator
• I’m treating this isotropically so the mass is the same in all directions.
• All the even ones are odd
• This notation is a disaster, don’t try this at home
• So, if anyone ever asks you how to make a hermite polynomial out of sine functions remember you only need about 25 of them.
• The Zeno paradox is actually kinda cute.
• My comments last class about keeping the final exam to two hours are probably a bit false.
• Could someone please look up the word cumulative in the dictionary for him
• Bonus points for Devon
  
  < Ross’s response > Dammit
  
  Bonus points are worth zero
  
  < Ross’s re-response > Yeah! Integrate that!
