I'm pretty sure we did all these same problems in Physics 137 four years ago. Why does it take so long to do them again? I distinctly remember helping roxymartini with this particular question last year. I feel dumb now.

They tell us that our classes are taught out of Jackson (e&m), and Sakurai (quantum). But really everything is from Griffiths and Griffiths. S-:

My plan is to learn quantum computing and second quantization from lecture notes from courses at berkeley, and i'd also like to read Baez's stuff.. but who has the time?

p.s. road trip! where should we go? You have until 11am EDT to answer! Oddly I have visions of lugano.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Motorcycle Diaries at the little sometime next week. It's about Ché Guevara and Alberto Granado; Che is the prototypical revolutionary, but I'm completely ignorant of who he was or what he did. (Mostly I'm just looking for a good roadtrip movie. :-) Also maybe seeing "A Mouthful of Birds" which the theatre department is putting on (I know nothing about it).

i only just learned the distinction between jackson and griffiths a couple of weeks ago. my advisor would like me to take the griffiths version next year, but it turns out jackson counts toward my Ph.D. too. so jackson it is!
