Abstract

In this article we derive the wave functions of a non-relativistic quantum particle confined in a spherical hollow box. Utilizing these states and deploying a Computer Algebra System (CAS) such as Mathematica [1] we display the three dimensional radial wave functions. We compute the energy levels and the position expectation values.
