Function Orthogonality - Inner Product Notation

  / edmundsj  
If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way you can do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible.

In this video, I briefly discuss the notation I will be using for taking inner products (just the dot product for functions) of wavefunctions, as well as how to take the inner product of complex functions. This is very similar in form to bra-ket notation but doesn't come with all the extra philosophical baggage.

This is part of my graduate series on optoelectronics / photonics, and is based primarily on Coldren's book on Lasers as well as graduate-level coursework I have taken in the EECS department at UC Berkeley.

Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
