Really? I got 2 classes on QM. I got no enlightenment, and it mostly made me feel that we had reached the limits of what one can reasonably attempt with pen-and-paper mathematics. Seriously, how many "corrections" do they need to make in order to get a "good enough" hydrogen atom? Not to mention all of the dubious math. Learning the basics was interesting. The postulates, and all. But that was what, 5 classes? I strongly discourage anyone from going any further. Not worth it. Go study algebra instead, at least, no leap-of-faith approximations are involved.
