It's totally legit to cull a function, get back a value, do nothing with it other than compare it to another value.

挑选一个函数是完全合法的，返回一个值，用它来做些事情而不是用它与其它的值比较。

So, that's probability density, but in terms of thinking about it in terms of actual solutions to the wave function, let's take a little bit of a step back here.

这就是概率密度，但作为,把它当成是，波函数的解，让我们先倒回来一点。

You try to design actually I'm going to come back to that in a second. It's like you're trying to use a hash function that spread things out pretty evenly. But the places you store into in those lists may have to themselves have a small list in there, and when you go to check something, you may have to do a linear search through the elements in that list.

你尝试着去设计,实际上过会儿我会回头讲解这个问题,类似于你需要用一个哈希函数,非常平均的将物体分发出去,但是在列表中你数据,映射到的地方可能会有自己的一小段列表，当你回头查找数据的时候,你可能需要在那一小段列表中做线性查找。

s We are back over to E as a function of n, l, m and s, only we got there through this other torturous route.

我们回到将E作为函数n，l和，只要我们解决了这个烦人的路径。

I have yet to show you the solution to a wave function for the hydrogen atom, so let me do that here, and then we'll build back up to probability densities, and it turns out that if we're talking about any wave function, we can actually break it up into two components, which are called the radial wave function and angular wave function.

我还没有给你们看过,氢原子波函数的解，让我现在给你们看一下，然后再来说,概率密度，实际上,对于任何一个波函数来说，我们可以把它,分解为两部分，分别叫做径向波函数,和角向波函数。
