Homework Statement



I am to show that Schrödinger's equation is linear.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I think it is sufficient to show that if psi1 and psi 2 are the solutions of Schrödinger equation, then any linear combination of them, say (a psi1+b psi 2) is also a soluton to that equation.

Am I missing something?

No, nothing. If you show that then the SE is linear.
