Hermiticity - physical operators (observables) have real expectation values
Definitions of eigenvalues, eigenfunctions
Example: momentum eigenfunctions
Separation of S.E. into time and space - solution of time dependent part
Reduction of TDSE to TISE, which is really an eigenvalue problem
Puzzle: What "functions" satisfy the eigenvalue problem x_op f(x) = lambda f(x) ?
