The Schrödinger equation, \(i \hbar \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t} = \hat H \Psi\), is a partial differential equation for the wave function \(\Psi\) of quantum mechanics.

Factorials apply only to nonnegative integers but can be extended to complex numbers with positive real parts using the Gamma function, \(\Gamma(n) = \int_0^\infty e^{-x}x^{n-1}dx\).

The Taylor series for an infinitely differentiable \(f\) at point \(a\), given by \(f(x) = \sum_{k=0} ^ {\infty} \frac {f^{(k)}(a)}{k!} \, (x-a)^{k}\), allows \(f\) to be expressed in terms of its derivatives.
