Time independent Schrödinger equation

[ZedCar]

Should the time independent Schrödinger equation contain a differentiating 'd' as shown here:

or a differentiating curly 'δ' as shown here:

Thank you!

Depends on how many variable will psi contain. If 1, call it x, then it's a d, if more than 1, then it's a $\partial$.

Thanks for that!

The question I am working with relates to a 1 dimensional infinite well.

Therefore in this case it would appear to be just 'd' then.

Thanks again!
