Physics graduate students: The comp exam is to be held on the first Monday of class. You are excused from class if you are taking the exam, but please let me know. I will arrange a make-up lecture for you at your convenience, and I will post slides. | There is a new worksheet on the 4/15 day under "assignments" - you don't need t oturn it in, but it summarizes what we did in class and you should be able to construct it for the molecular orbitals of chain of any number of atoms. |

| The comprehensive exam for physics graduate students overlaps PH575 class time on Monday 4/1. In the Monday 4/1 class, there will be a review of mathematical concepts used in the class that should not be necessary for the physics grads (though I will repeat the class upon request). Others should attend. The first "official" class is on Wednesday 4/3. |
