+  - This computer visualization activity is designed to help upper division undergraduate students visualize spherical harmonics.
-  - Students calculate the probability density from the spherical harmonics
+  - Students use Maple or Mathematica to calculate the probability density of spherical harmonics, visualize linear combinations of spherical harmonics, and animate the time evolution of the probability density.
-  - Students can visualize linear combinations of spherical harmonics
+  - The entire class wrap-up discussion addresses how to represent the probability densities computed from spherical harmonics in a variety of ways.
-  - Animations allows visualization of time evolution of probability density
