Issued Wed, Jan 21 Due Wed, Jan 28

Required reading for this week: Gas. Ch. 14

1) Gas. 14-2

2) Gas. 14-4 (Forget the "and so on")

3) Gas. 14-5a only, and you do not have to actually find the eigenvalues. Just write out H explicitly as a matrix.

(Note: Finding the eigenvalues should be "tedious but straightforward" - do you see clearly how you would go about doing it if you had to?)

4) Gas 14-7

5) Gas 14-10

6) Gas 14-12
