From there, we would quantize the harmonic oscillator, working most likely in the C[z] representation of [a,a*]=1. (To get commutators, do you have to introduce Poisson bracket?) Perturbing the harmonic oscillator gives us Feynman diagrams in 0 Theohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03344294173628793721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11569812.post-1157064382979424332006-08-31T15:46:00.000-07:002006-08-31T15:46:00.000-07:00Re (5): more generally, it would be nice to talk a...Re (5): more generally, it would be nice to talk about <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadwiger's_theorem" REL="nofollow">Hadwiger's theorem</A>.

It is, however, the standard method that all new TAs in Berkeley (TAing for any of the various calculus classes) are highly encouraged and coached to try.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, when I look at Quantum Mechanics, of course I see linear algebra, not differential equations.
