This computer visualization activity is designed to help upper division undergraduate students visualize linear combinations of spherical harmonics. Students use a Maple worksheet or Mathematica notebook to visualize various representations of probability densities of linear combinations of spherical harmonics. The entire class wrap-up discussion addresses how to represent linear combinations of spherical harmonics in a variety of ways.
This material is part of the Paradigms in Physics project at Oregon State University. This work promotes the use of active student learning in upper division physics courses. Both learning materials and learning strategies are provided to help both students and instructors.
