 To apply these concepts to our job as a faculty member, it is helpful to introduce another QM term, wavefunction. In QM, because we view particles/electrons as ''waves'', and there is a function that describes the motion of these particles, we then use the term "wave-function" to describe the behavior of this particle/electron. When describing a personal situation, we could use the term "function" as opposed to wavefunction, but to make this more descriptive, let's use the term jobfunction.
-A jobfunction can be viewed as a ''weighted average'' of the basic functions; additionally this can be referred to as a ''linear combination'' of basic functions.
+A jobfunction can be viewed as a ''weighted average'' of the basis functions; additionally this can be referred to as a ''linear combination'' of basic functions.
 As a faculty member, your jobfunction at a minimum includes teaching, scholarship/research, and service. Teaching is a clear part of your job function; scholarship/research can take on many forms; service is most likely the least clear part of your jobfunction.

-Although quantum mechanics (QM) is viewed by most as an esoteric formulation of science, there are many concepts in QM that allow us to '''model''' a variety of personal situations, as well as the chemical/physical world. In QM, the concept of a "basis function" can be equated to job duty or task and the combination of these basis functions is a way of viewing our job as a whole. All job tasks (basis functions) are collectively referred to as a "basis set" (a basis set is a collection of basis functions).

To students, teaching is a clear job function; research in the sciences should also be a clear job function; service is less well defined, but most students are involved in "running" student organizations and this is not too different from a faculty member who serves on, for example, the “curriculum” or “personnel” committee.
