Dan Styer's Qualifications

• I have taught a technical junior-level quantum mechanics course for physics majors at Oberlin College four times. Here is my syllabus for the next time I teach that course.

• I have taught a technical senior-level quantum mechanics course and seminar for physics majors at Oberlin College once.

• As an advanced graduate student at Cornell University, I prepared the solutions for and graded the homework of a graduate-level quantum mechanics course (using the text by Baym).

• I developed and taught a course on quantum mechanics for a general audience called "The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics". I have presented this course at Oberlin College nine times.

• I have written a book that evolved out of the above course and that was published by Cambridge University Press.

• I have twice served as associate instructor for the computer conference course "Demystifying Quantum Mechanics", developed and taught by Edwin F. Taylor.

• My computer programs "Quantum Mechanical Time Development" and "Identical Particles in Quantum Mechanics" were winners in the 1994 Computers in Physics Educational Software Contest (see Computers in Physics, 8 (1994) 672-678). These programs are published in J.R. Hiller, I.D. Johnston, and D.F. Styer, Quantum Mechanics Simulations (Wiley, New York, 1995) [part of the CUPS project].

• I wrote the article D.F. Styer, "Common misconceptions regarding quantum mechanics," Am. J. Phys. 64 (1996) 31-34; 1202.
