Here's the probability current equation as seen in Griffith's book.
[tex]j = \frac{\hbar}{2mi}\left(\Psi^* \frac{\partial \Psi }{\partial x}- (\frac{\partial \Psi^* }{\partial x})\Psi \right)[/tex]
Does the second right term instruct us to take the derivative of the wave function complex conjugate? Or for that matter $$\Psi^*$$ this refers to the complex conjugate right?
Secondly, what math topics are included in Schrodinger's equation? Is it only differential calculus or does it also include complex variable calculus?
Thank You
