Students interested in scattering and related phenomena are urged to audit Dr. Fink's course. The closest approximation this course has to a textbook is Quantum Mechanics by A. S. Davydov. This book is very solid and does cover much of the course's material in its own somewhat old-fashioned way. Generally, the homeworks will be assigned weekly and will be due a week later. If you start working on an assignment the day before it's due, you will not finish it in time.
Homeworks are essential for understanding the course material.
First Week Dr. Kaplunovsky will be absent from UT diring the first week of the spring semester. In his absence, the first week of this class will be taught by Dr. E.C. George Sudarshan . Or any late afternoon. Please do not ask physics questions via e-mail.
