This lecture introduces important sets of orthogonal polynomials in physics, such as Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre, and Generalized Laguerre polynomials. These polynomials play a crucial role as solutions to differential equations in physical sciences, particularly in representing angular and radial dependencies in fields and eigenstates of quantum systems.
