Calculate the expectation values of p and p2 for a particle in
the state n = 2 in a square-well potential.
Hint: You can do it by straight forward substitution of the
appropriate y and A in calculating
<A> = <y|A|y> or you
can use some ingenuity to get the aswer.

• Next, with five equal intervals (i.e. with n = 5), compute the
trape- zoidal, T , and Simpson’s rule S, estimates for the
following integral J= integral 0 to 20 (20x−x^2)dx.
• Finally compute the exact value of the integral J . • Compare
the exact value with the your estimates T and S and discuss.
For the differential equation x′′ + (o.1)(1 − x2)x′ + x = 0; x(0)

differential equations in preparation to solve with the vectorized
version of a numerical approximation technique. (b) Use the
vectorized Euler method with h = 0.2 to plot out an approximate
