[CHM 331] Plotting Over Angular Variables

The Computational Math Tools worksheet tells you to do problems 10E and 
10F in Alberty and Silbey.  Basically the idea here is to plot ONLY the 
angular portions of the wavefunctions found in Table 10.1.

For example, in Mathamatica try...

pz = Cos[theta]

followed by a somewhat lengthy plot command...

SphericalPlot3D[Conjugate[pz] pz, {theta, 0, Pi}, {phi, 0, 2*Pi},
  DisplayFunction -> Identity, PlotRange -> All]



Enjoy!
