Homework #4: BAUTISTA, Maurice F

This homework assignment for Quantum Mechanics II involves solving two problems: 1) Finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a 3x3 matrix, and verifying that eigenvectors form an orthonormal and complete basis. 2) Finding the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a differential operator by restricting functions to a specific region, and normalizing the eigenfunctions.
