Students’ use of symbolic forms when constructing equations of boundary conditions

In an effort to examine students’ understanding about the structure of boundary conditions in upper-division courses, think-aloud interviews were conducted in the context of both quantum mechanics and electricity and magnetism. In the quantum mechanics task, students were presented with a standard p...
