Textbook: J. J. Sakurai, Modern Quantum Mechanics, (Addison-Wesley, Reading Massachusetts), ISBN: 0-201-53929-2.
Reserve books: The books by Cohen-Tannoudji, et. al., Landau & Lifshitz, Sakurai, Schwabl and Jost, "The general theory of quantized fields" are on reserve at EPSL.
E-mail: I encourage students to make use of e-mail for quick correspondence with me regarding lecture material, homework problems, or whatever. I will also use e-mail to communicate with the class at large.
Homework: Assigned weekly and due the following week. Late homework accepted until end of the class at which it is due. If you know it will be impossible to turn in an assignment on time you must discuss this with me in advance of the due date. Sources (e.g. textbooks or classmates) should be cited when used heavily in a homework solution. Please make sure you include your name and the homework and course numbers and staple the pages together.

Final Examination:
Handed out at end of class: Monday, May 10

Cannot consult other people.
Grading: Based on homework (200 pts.), one mid-term (100 pts.), and
final (200 pts.).
Final Exam score will be used to decide borderline cases.
An approximate guide is that 55-60% of the overall points plus a passing
score on the final exam are required to earn a grade of B- or better.
