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 \hat{A}. And that the expected value of a measurement associated with this quantity is given by \langle<\psi 
|\hat{A}|\psi \rangle = \int \psi^*(\mathbf{r},t) \left[ \hat{A} \psi(\mathbf{r},t) \right] d^3 r.

In addition to this summary, you should understand

  1. the ininite square well sufficiently to be able to derive the energy eigenstates,

the energy levels and normalization.
