Crazy expressions being explored, a must need to understand. These solutions can't be normalizable but a linear combination might be able to, so integrals are needed. How amazing that Fourier methods coming through!

Science is a phenomenal exploration of nature. We hope to hone our skills of problem solving by exposing ourselves to multiple contexts. In doing so, it can sometimes be challenging to see the connection between topics. I yearn to understand 𝙝𝙤𝙬 these aspects of physics, unite together. To accomplish this, I'll cover all of my old textbooks through QFT; the convergence point of the many modern scientists! These posts are very much in a "𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧" style. 𝙈𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 is that by sharing this exploration, I can help others navigate the beautiful world of mathematics & physics through problems and examples, connecting the mathematical tools to their physical ramifications.
