Not in the book I read. Pic related it's the book I read.

Like I said, the author doesn't talk about the shape of orbitals.

Well I didn't do the math myself, but I did look at the author's solution. And yes, I can see the solutions, but I don't disbelieve them. I just don't quite understand how solutions to what seems to me to be a spherically symmetric problem aren't symmetric too.

Then again there are those d<span class="math">\theta[/spoiler]s in the laplace operator...

I really can't wait until I get to take actual group theory courses and such...
