There is a review of important topics at the end of chapter 3, pages 58-59. I will go over this in class today. But briefly, it includes the time dependent and time independent Schrodinger equations. Momentum space representation. The Heisenberg uncertainty relation (for x, p_x and E, t). The idea that to each physical quantity A there is an associated observable given as a self-adjoint operator . And that the expected value of a measurement associated with this quantity is given by .
In addition to this summary, you should understand
- the ininite square well sufficiently to be able to derive the energy eigenstates,
the energy levels and normalization.
