 Also, remember if the commutator of two operators is nonzero that their eigenstates do not share the same basis.  Also, remember if the commutator of two operators is nonzero that their eigenstates do not share the same basis.

 +What you said is mainly correct, but remember knowing Lx with more certainty means you know (Lz + Ly) with less certainty, not so much each one indiviually.

 I also had this problem as well, but,just as David Hilbert's Hat said, it is much easier to refer back to notation that you already know and apply it to the new material. Although, it does take some thinking and time to adjust to the new notation, and I still am, I find that after I read the sections a few times and start working out the problems it will eventually come to me. I also had this problem as well, but,just as David Hilbert's Hat said, it is much easier to refer back to notation that you already know and apply it to the new material.

 +I found that writing all the different notation out with what it means, kinda like making an equation sheet, helps cement it into my brain.  That and looking back at my calc 3 book for a refresher on linear algebra! 
 +===Devlin=== 
 +I still find myself moving slowly because of the new notation as well.  I think it'll just take practice.
