day 17: 102exam
- finished 26.5
- got like all questions answered in office hours like sorta
- actually solved an elasticity problem like 75%
- know more about defects and how to solve them
- made flashcards
Ahhhhhh
day 17: 102exam
day 16 def did happen and did much stuff but look
Anyway
Two practice midterm 2 problems (gotten from email)
HAVE A STUDY GUIDE crazy might try to break it up into thirds
Submitted homework but got it returned
Two plane groups gotta get checked (that was most of yesterday as well)
Started then got stuck on third tank tensors
Also stuck on lenaoard Jones potential
Made progress with point defects video
Also added to flashcards
day 15: 102exam
FINISHED THE FUCKING LECTURE 26 VIDEO
Sent a super detailed email waiting for a reply about some questions
Did a few practice problems
Made a few flashcards
day 14: 102exam
Office hours asked many questions learned about coulombs energy and tensors and hamiltonian matrix
Made minor progress to lecture 26.5
day 13: 102exam
- marginal progress on section 2 of the videos
- did some practice problems
Finaihed one practice problem all the way through the rest still got stuck but at least moving forward. And learned a bit about stereographic projections patterns.
- started problem set 9
lec 25 COMPLETE
Worked on practice problems and asked questions in office hours so making progress not sure how many still haven't finished problems all the way through but I am at least not staring at a blank page
day 11: 102 exam
- Watched video for lec 25 until the video crashed :/
- attempted two practice problems
- attended last lecture
1/3 through lecture 25
Went to office hours
Office hours was really good for doing parts of practice problems as well as answering some bonding questions. Honestly bonding questions weren't super clear still but it's hard for like wave functions to make a lot of sense. Main take away is we'll only be looking at one elextron systems which is good. Some motivation to examine roto inversions. And some elastic tensor work and also philosophy of approaching math as like a language of rigorous logic as opposed to correct steps to be taken.
Office hours was really good really productive.
Good Morning
finished lec 24
Lecture Formatting:
for this section of the course is Lec 21-26 so have done 4 lectures with two left for the bonding stuff
day eight: 102exam
-finished that 23 and started 24
day seven: 102exam
Lecture 24? I think that's the one I started todsy
FINISHED LEC 21
Such things
formulated a way to ask sterographic question
1/3 of lec 21 (actually can kinda solve 1D Schrondingers (cant spell but can solve) equation)

Started a practice exam problem
From that practice exam problem realized need to study stereographic projects
Came up with stereographic projects strat for creating a bank of all 32 (I think) projections
I suppose it is now the end of November which is ok tmrw is month of final but still haven't technically returned to school yet so. Made cookies.
Day two of the operation. It's still a break from school things are weird.
Things that happened today for exam:
sent a very important email and got a very important response
also figured out that the greek letter my prof is trying to write is phi and that it is a function which makes it a eigenfunction but functions in quatum mecahnics are also vectors which makes it a eigenvector and eigenvectors all have their own rules which did not figure out yet
think am going to start with Lec 21
Its Thanksgiving and finals are next month and I am feeling very normal. So I need a way to track my progress because studying right now feels like running on a treadmill like I cannot see that I am making any progresss or any progress being made feels marginal or insufficient at best. So I liveblog my studying strat thats the idea.
Its Thursday and I
sent an email to the prof
started eigenvalues A.5
Downloaded the Covalent Bonding Pages Pt 1
attemped to solve Momentum Operator (failed to do so)
It's a holiday so I stopped and made mashed potatoes
