 Maybe, as Griffiths says, I shoulda been a mathematician...  I realize he's not explicitly mentioning a delta function, it just sounds like what he refers to "could be" a delta function as well...  but ya.  It's just not. Is a delta function "square integrable"? -- Yes because it has an 'area' yes?   Maybe, as Griffiths says, I shoulda been a mathematician...  I realize he's not explicitly mentioning a delta function, it just sounds like what he refers to "could be" a delta function as well...  but ya.  It's just not.

 +The 'isolated points' the footnote related is talking about points with finite values. Of course delta function is not square integrable, because <math>\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \delta(x)^2 dx = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \delta(x) \delta(x) dx =\delta(0) = + \infty </math> (equation [2.113])

 So, for the finite square well problem in the sample quiz, we are asked to calculate the first two values of //l//. Is this doable without a computer?

 +I think this is as simple as looking at the graph provided and looking for where the lines cross. For symmetric z= 2, 4 (approximately) with z=la then l= 2/a, 4/a. For asymmetric z= 3, 5 (approximately) then l= 3/a, 5/a. I think. It's then up to you to figure out if those numbers are sensible.

 +It doesn't say that <math>\alpha</math> is imaginary, it says that it is //complex//. So it can be represented by <math>\alpha = a + bi</math>. So you solve the problem to find that <math>b=0.</math>
