TITLE: Weird Al Yankovic's Partial Differential Equation
QUESTION [7 upvotes]: In Weird Al Yankovic's music video "White and Nerdy" (1:20-1:36), there are flashes of a partial differential equation:
$$\left(-\frac{h^2}{2\mu}\nabla^2 - \frac{e^2}{r}\right)\psi(r)=E\psi(r)$$
Does anyone know what the name of this equation is?

REPLY [5 votes]: This is the time independent Schrodinger equation for two elementary charges with a Coulomb interaction.
