In this video, we'll begin our discussion of how to solve the Schrodinger Equation for larger atoms and molecules.  As we'll see, this requires us to approximate the wavefunction (and therefore reach only approximate solutions to the equation).  In the next couple of videos, we'll delve deeper into exactly how this is done, but this video will give you an idea of the reasons we need to approximate the wavefunction, and sketches a basic outline of how we'll do it!
