c 2015{2016, Daniel V. Schroeder To create a precise theory of the wave properties of particles and of measurement probabilities, we introduce the concept of a wavefunction: a function of space that encodes the current state of a system. For now, we’ll assume that the \system" consists of a single particle living in a one-dimensional universe.

4 Chapter 3 Thermal Energy per kilogram, while boiling water requires 540 kcal per kilogram. Each of these numbers is called the latent heat of the corresponding phase change. In general, Latent heat = thermal energy input mass (to accomplish the phase change), (3.6) or in symbols, L = ∆E t m (to accomplish the phase change). (3.7)

Physics Simulations in Python

An earlier version of this manual used the Java programming language, intro-duced by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) in 1995. Although based on C and C++, Java is easier to learn and use, and comes with standard cross-platform libraries for graphics and other common tasks. Its computational performance is remarkably

Quantum Mechanics with Mathematica

Special functions such as Hermite polynomials and spherical harmonics are built into Mathematica. Mathematica provides easy-to-use routines for numerical integration, solving ODEs, and diagonalizing matrices. Coding a PDE-solving algorithm is no harder in Mathematica than in any other language (although execution speed can sometimes be an issue).

CONTINUOUS-TIME MARKOV CHAINS - Columbia University

The conditional probabilities P(X(s+t) = j|X(s) = i) are called the transition probabil-ities. We will consider the special case of stationary transition probabilities (sometimes referred to as homogeneous transition probabilities), occurring when

Chapter 1 Poisson Processes - NYU Courant

If we have a Markov Chain {Xn} on a state space X, with transition probabil-ities Π(x,dy), and a Poisson Process N(t) with intensity λ, we can combine the two to define a continuous time Markov process x(t) with X as state space by the formula x(t) = XN(t) The transition probabilities of this Markov process are given by

way to quantify this risk is to calculate exceedance probabil­ ities representing the amount of energy expected to be pro­ duced by a plant. Many years of solar radiation and metere­ ological data are required to determine these values, often called P50 or P90 values for the level of certainty they repre­ sent.

A discrete-time stochastic process {X n: n ≥ 0} on a countable set S is a collection of S-valued random variables defined on a probability space (Ω,F,P).The Pis a probability measure on a family of events F (a σ-field) in an event-space Ω.1 The set Sis the state space of the process, and the

This information is considered prior infor-mation, because it is relevant information that exists prior to the test. We may
