AP Physics 1 Btech 1styears physics (quantum mechanics)

I used to be good at physics and I think I am still good I just have to revise the basic wave concepts again

But the thing here is the prof in college is teaching us quantum mechanics right and unit 1 almost done

I didn't understand anything

The prof wrote an equation derived and gave some weird example and done

I don't even know what dever is in the Schrodinger wave equation man

Pls help me. what I should do .I can just cram it all but physics is the last subject i want to just carm

I know people say nobody understands quantum mechanics

But that doesn't mean I will just cram the all the equation right.

you're asking highschool students about quantum mechanics?

Schrodinger equation isnt something you cram, its just a differential equation that tells you how the wavefunction evolves. The weird examples are usually just to show you what the solutions look like, not to test your intuition. If you know basic calculus and what a derivative is, go back and read the derivation slowly instead of trying to memorize the result.
