SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for study materials related to quantum mechanical scattering, specifically spherical and cylindrical problems. The user seeks resources that cover partial waves, the Born approximation, Bessel functions, Legendre polynomials, and spherical harmonics. They have ordered a book by Haberman on applied differential equations but are facing delays and issues with library access. The urgency is emphasized due to the upcoming semester and the necessity to grasp these concepts for academic success.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with differential equations
  • Knowledge of mathematical functions such as Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials
  • Experience with scattering theory in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research online tutorials on quantum mechanical scattering techniques
  • Study the Born approximation in detail with practical examples
  • Explore resources on Bessel functions and their applications in quantum mechanics
  • Learn about spherical harmonics and their role in quantum scattering problems
USEFUL FOR

Students of quantum mechanics, physics educators, and anyone preparing for advanced studies in quantum scattering theory will benefit from this discussion.

Hi!

I need material to study before autum on spherical- and cylidrical problems for quantum mechanical scattering.. otherwise i will probably not get a good grade on that course due to other courses I MUST take next semster..

So if you know any good web-material for this, with theory and maybe some worked out examples and so on.

I have ordered a book from the states (haberman - applied diff eq, I live in sweden). but it seems to have been lost :S And the copy at the library have been stole hehe..

So need some tutorials for this, partial waves, Born approximation etc, Bessel functions, Legendre polynomials and spherical harmonics.

If you have, or know any material or want to help me search for it, I would be very very greatful to you!
