I'm sorry for the kinetic energy isn't should be K=m/2[(x')^2+(z')^2] and remember that z=x^2

The Langrangian is written as L=K-U The kinetic energy is K=m/2(x')^2 And the potential energy in this case is U=mgz Where z=x^2 so it becomes U=mgx^2 This help?

Thanks for the recommendations. I am looking for a summer math class that can count as a higher level math class that can help with quantum and it sounds like it is linear algebra. Thanks again for the input!

I haven't taken linear algebra yet. Would this be a good class to take?

I have taken calc 1,2,3 and diff equations and I am now in a mathematical methods for sciences class that touches on a lot. I am not sure which text will be used.

Hello everyone. I am getting ready to take quantum mechanics in the fall and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a math class I can take over the summer that could help prepare me for quantum. Thanks for any advice
