Abstract
For a particle either in one or in three dimensions, there are few situations where the eigenvalue equation for the Hamiltonian has closed-form solutions. In most cases one must turn to approximate methods. These, we will see, are very different from one another. Not all methods are adapted to any specific problem, each method having its own domain of application.
