Abstract
In Chapter 4 a set of postulates for the study of quantum mechanics was introduced, including the Schrödinger equation plus a prescription for forming the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian for a time-independent, field-free, conservative system in which relativistic effects are ignored. Although such a Hamiltonian is indeed a restricted one compared to the circumstances found in many experiments, use of it has allowed a number of important principles to be established using one-dimensional and other examples, as well as the introduction of angular momentum from a quantum mechanical point of view.
