Quantum mechanics, the basic theory of wavefunctions and spins, ending with hydrogen atom and angular momentum.

Learned how to use Mathematica and Latex

Electrostatics, Boundary Value Problems, Magnetostatics, and Magnetic Fields

1D QM Potential Problems, 3D QM Hydrogen Atom Stuff, and all the Maths in-between.

How to read a lab manual, how to follow the steps of a lab manual, how to record data, how to propagate error, how to analyze data in Python/Excel, how to determine causes of uncertainty, how to write lab reports

Important mathematical methods and concepts--boundary value problems (laplace), dirac delta functions. In depth overview of electrostatics and magnetostatics.

intro to quantum mechanics, solving for eigen values and eigen function of the Schrodinger equation, solving different types of potentials, the hydrogen atom.

Don't take this class if it doesn't fulfill a requirement. Lab sessions are long and writing the reports is such a chore. The physics itself is not very difficult (you can honestly get away without knowing it all if you just reference the lab manual) but it is just a lot of work to write 4-6 page reports every single week. You submit your last report and you have to immediately start writing your next one. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Spring 2022 Course: PHYSUN1494_001_2022_1-INTROTOEXPERIMENTALPHYS-LAB : PHYSUN1494_001_2022_1 - INTRO TO EXPERIMENTAL PHYS-LAB Instructor: Giuseppina Cambareri

Electrostatics (in vacuum and in matter), and magnetostatics (in vacuum and in matter), roughly corresponding to Griffiths ch.2-6

Eigenfucntions, bound states, all the basics for quantum mechanics
