For those of you interested, the problem lies with the normalization integral of Schroedinger's equations, the integral from negative infinity to infinity of psi-star psi dx. No matter what I do, I keep ending up with a huge number (limit to infinity^2) minus the same huge number (limit to (negative infinity)^2), giving me zero, which just shouldn't happen, as it's supposed to be solved for the normalization constant where the whole thing equals 1. It's not working. As a direct result, <x> and the other expectant values are also notoriously impossible to find, for the same reason. It's only two of the assignments that deal with this, but... *trails off* Then, the next big problem is that simple harmonic oscillators aren't "simple." (Mostly because these are the only problems thus far that have actually required use of the normalization function to find the constant). Once I moved past all that, however, everything's been really easy, as they never touch on it again.

At any rate, I'll be fully back this Saturday, so... until then, this is the most I can do as far as communication. :P I might come up with other stuff to write about here, but for the most part, this is the most I can think of for now. When I get back, I've got a lot, but that'll have to wait.
