Title: The Evolution of Dirac Equation from Schrodinger Equation

Abstract: The famous Schrodinger equation is a second-order partial differential equation with respect to a wave function of a quantum mechanical system. We will investigate the Schrodinger equation in the N-hypersphere with Coulomb potential energy. We seek solutions of this complex partial differential equation using Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation and Nikiforov-Uvarov method. This presentation aims to explain the fundamental math of quantum mechanics at the graduate student level.
