There will be several source texts. The 3 core ones are Mathematical Methods, Griffiths, and Gasciorowicz.

Overview:

Problems in Physics: Why Quantum, what is quantum
Schrodinger's Equation
Review of Statistics
Follow Griffiths, with supporting material from Gasc. Be sure to pause to appreciate the math from time to time.

Format:

Chapters are composed of sections. Generally, about 20 section per chapter.

Each section is:

At the end of each chapter:

Study Methods:

Students can learn by watching the video, reviewing the text, doing the "easy" problems, in about an hour long section. They check their work, and move on to another subject.
Students must spend the "in-between" times thinking about the "Deep Thought" problems.
Pace can be about 3-8 sections a week.
