Exploring Orthonormal Functions
Theresa Julia Zielinski · Journal of Chemical Education · 2007
In this document students explore orthonormal functions using particle-in-a-box wave functions. The particle-in-a-box wave functions are also used for fitting a linear combination of these functions to a target function. Students compare the quality of the fit between the target function and the linear combination of particle-in-a-box functions and calculate standard deviations.
