[Lesson 27] QED Prerequisites Laplace's Method, Stationary Phase

Показать описание
This is the first of two lessons focusing on the critical asymptotic expression for the spherical Bessel functions. In this lesson we study the Laplace method for real integral representations of functions, and then the stationary phase method for a certain type of integral representation of a complex-valued function.

The software I usually use to produce the lectures is:

I always love dipping my toes into the world of asymptotics! For the stationary phase method, I believe the integral works identically to the usual Gaussian integral, just let a = -i*alpha. Thus Sqrt(Pi/a) = Sqrt(Pi/alpha)*Sqrt(1/-i) = Sqrt(Pi/alpha)*Exp(i*Pi/4). Great video, I look forward to the next in the series!

What happens if we have multiple maximum points of the same value (for Laplace’s Method)/stationary points (for the Method of Stationary Points)?

Why not just make a quantum mechanics/topics in quantum mechanics playlist and then reference it once you start QED proper? Would probably get more hits on youtube just by changing the name. Anyways, great work as always.
