I am working with a Daedalon chaotic pendulum for an experimental physics class. The pendulum is rather old and seems to have a strange problem. The pendulum can be driven by a DC current, and as voltage is increased, the pendulum begins to rotate. The pendulum is supposed to rotate smoothly and...
Homework Statement
I'm working on problem 2.22 from Griffith's Intro. to Quantum Mechanics (a free particle problem). I am stuck on the final integral from part b. Part a of the problem is normalizing:
A*e-a*x2 which I did. Part b wants the general, time-dependent wave function.

As a follow up for those that may come across this thread, I borrowed the Riley book from a college library, and it saved me in the class. Thanks to the Riley book, I got an A in the class.
Riley is thorough and explains everything leaving no detail vague.
To be clear, the book I used was...
Wow! Thank-you for all those suggestions, and I will look into getting those books when we reach those topics.
Also, I didn't earlier note that the class is not going to cover the entire Weber and Arfken book, just some sections; therefore, any book that gives a more detailed treatment of...
I am taking a class called "Math Methods" this semester in my undergrad physics program. The course description is essentially what the original poster stated their course was on. We are using the Weber and Arfken book talked about in this forum topic.
I have taken Calc I-IV (on a quarter...
