A linear map on a function space X is called an operator. An example is Df(x) = f0(x) on X = C1. More generally, if p(x) is a polynomial, we can look at p(D) on X and look at di erential equations p(D)f = g …

Assignment Operators The Assignment Operator evaluates an expression on the right of the expression and substitutes it to the value or variable on the left of the expression.

Historically, Dirac operator was discovered by Dirac (who else!) looking for a square root of the Laplace operator. According to Einstein's (special) relativity, For simplicity, we assume that all physical …

Generally, we will follow Cohen-Tannoudji, and use capital letters for operators and lower-case letters for c-numbers. Another common convention is to distinguish operators by giving them a ‘^’

There are many other important integral operators, but it leads into the subject of integral equations, which is a bit unfamiliar to most students, and we won’t delve into it here.
