sounds like you just had a bad test, happens to everyone. I usually review course notes and then work as many problems that I can find solutions for (this obviously doesn't apply to biology).

you're probably fine I wouldn't worry too much. Any pdes you need are solved in griffiths (if that's the textbook you will be using). I'm almost done with QM right now, and all I did was review a little linear algebra. undergrad qm is pretty basic stuff

Is research experience just as good as an internship to employers?

Thanks, I'll ask the professor. They tend not to respond though. For the stat mech class, my school uses "Thermal Physics" by kittel if that tells you anything. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0716710889/?tag=pfamazon01-20 Also, my concern isn't that it will be too hard. I'm just wondering if the...

It has all been on paper. There is a lab class where you work with industry type equipment such a seperators

The design project we just did had us "build" a reactor based on economic data. The designs we learn mainly deal with chemical processes, such as manufacturing semiconductors.

I'm a junior chemical engineering major. How much overlap is there between stat mech and engineering theromdynamics? I was thinking about taking both next semester assuming they are not too similar. Are the topics different enough to warrant taking them at the same time?

thanks that makes sense. do you have any idea why x*ψ(x)*ψ'(x) is defined to be zero at x = infinity? this also occurred in the example by griffiths. I am thrown off by the x in front of the expression

So I understand why the limit of the wave function as x goes to infinity is 0. But on pg 14 of Griffiths 2nd ed. qm for example, why does he call lim x\rightarrow\infty ψ*\frac{dψ}{dx} = 0? How can you assume that \frac{dψ}{dx} doesn't blow up at x = ∞

suppose there is a function f(x), and it's limit as x goes to infinity is 0. Is there a theorem that says it's derivative, f'(x), also approaches 0 as x goes to infinity? Thanks.

sometimes they test on material that was covered in class but not in the book. it happened in my engineering class

How much overlap is there between physical chemistry and chemical engineering with regards to thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena? Would it be beneficial for a chemical engineering student to take the physical chemistry courses that deal with these topics? Or would it be redundant...

ok thank you.

I'm about to take introductory quantum mechanics next semester and was wondering what I should review from linear algebra? I took it 2 years ago

What's the difference between analytical and continuum mechanics?
