How to Solve Schrödinger's Equation using Separation of Variables

We solve Schrödinger's Equation using the separation of variables technique. This is a straightforward mathematical approach that begins with an assumption that the solution to the equation be of a product form. This allows one to separate variables, and obtain a solution to the temporally dependent component of the product solution via integration. Solution is found to be a complex inverse exponential!
