what could you do to simplify things?
-
Knock out Ψ. But HΨ is not H times Ψ.
-
H is sort of recipe for doing something with Ψ;
-
we'll see that right away.
-
So you can't just cancel out the Ψ, unfortunately.
-
Okay, so ΗΨ=EΨ. Oops sorry, what did I do,
-
Now we can divide, you can divide the right by Ψ,
-
and since it was E times Ψ,
-
the Ψ goes away.
-
But when you divide on the left, you don't cancel the Ψs,
-
because the top doesn't mean multiplication.

Now I already told you the right side of
