| + | Upon analysis of the potential being an even function we can assume that the solutions are either even or odd. This is advantages b/c we only need to impose boundary conditions | ||
| The first point to consider is that an odd solution will be antisymmetric across the origin. This is what we focused on today. | The first point to consider is that an odd solution will be antisymmetric across the origin. This is what we focused on today. | ||
