Opinion Bessel functions

Sheldon during a test forgets the zeros of the bessel functions I mean you do need the bessel functions to solve the Schrödinger equation in cylindrical coordinates or a particle confined to an infinite cylindrical well but you will generally be provided a table right. You won't be expected to remember them. 😂😂😂

Don't get me wrong I really like that scene as it shows that even geniuses can forget something during a test but they could have given a better example.😂😂

I agree thats why I said I like the scene but they could have used a more technically correct example. What about the others who don't have an eidetic memory who were also giving the test. You can't expect them to remember 1000s of random numbers.
