    This document summarizes key concepts from Module 2 of a course on solving the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation: 1) The general solution for a free particle is a superposition of plane waves with coefficients determined by the initial wavefunction. 2) A Gaussian wave packet can be used to represent a particle with well-defined initial position and momentum. The probability distribution for the momentum is also Gaussian. 3) The wavefunction for a particle in a 1D box is a sinusoid with nodes at the box boundaries and a normalization constant of 1/L.
