On my bucket list is to understanding Schrodinger's wave equation. I'm closer than even. Here are the steps and their components as I currently understand them.
1. The story of Ernst Schrodinger's equation
2. The basic point of the equation
3. Total energy (the Hamiltonian)
--kinetic energy
--momentum reformulation
--potential energy
4. The Wave Equation
--simple harmonic motion
--taking derivatives
--second derivatives
--implicit differentiation
--partial derivatives
--derivatives of transcendental functions
5. The e form of the Wave Equation
--cos x + i sin x = e to the ix
--so psi equals e to the i times (kx-omega t)
6. Second derivative of psi function with respect to x
--derivatives of e
--Planck's constant and h bar
7. Time Independent Schrodinger Equation
8. Time Dependent Schrodinger Equation
9. The ket version
10. Dirac's relativistic version
