Physics 4604(10F), 1500-1550 MWF DM164
	This is the first part of two-part quantum mechanics course, mainly
	offered to physics major undergraduate student, however, other 
	upper division science majors can benefit from this systematic
	introduction of quantum mechanics, its basic principles, formalism,
	and application to atomic physics, quantum chemistry, and condensed
	matter physics and nanoscience. Students are expected to have the 
	knowledges and skills learned from modern physics and differential
	equation courses.
