This is the fourth, and
presumably final time

I study string theory
and its applications

to gravity, quantum gravity,
and condensed matter physics.

Quantum mechanics, this is a
course in quantam mechanics.

Our recitation instructors
are Barton Zwiebach, yea!

Matt's new to the
department, so welcome him.

OK, so he's the person to
send all complaints to.

So just out of curiosity, how
many of you all are Course 8?

How many of you all
are, I don't know, 18?

This is the first year we
haven't had anyone Course 9.

The first thing is
everything that we put out

Lecture notes, homeworks,
exams, everything

is going to be done through
Stellar, including your grades.

notice there are rather
more lights than usual.

We're going to be
videotaping this course

But hopefully that should
not play a meaningful role

So the goal of 804 is for you
to learn quantum mechanics.

don't mean to learn
how to do calculations,

although that's an important
and critical thing.

It has a reputation
for being a hard topic.

I'm totally positive, can
learn quantum mechanics.

And in order to really
develop a good intuition,

the essential thing
is to solve problems.

with new situations, new
context, new regimes, which

It's essential that you work
hard on the problem sets.

So your job is to devote
yourself to the problem sets.

My job is to convince you
at the end of every lecture

that the most interesting
thing you could possibly

due in the physics box in
the usual places, by lecture,

But we will drop one
problem set to make up
