    [edit] Qualitative Description

    Wow, this is a fairly exhaustive mathematical analysis of spin waves for Wikipedia. However, I must say that this article requires at least a minimal qualitative description of what spin-waves are. The first sentence of the theory is "The simplest way of understanding spin waves is to consider the Hamiltonian". Surely there is a more gradual approach to this topic than to talk about Hamiltonians and eigenstates right away. I would add to this article but am taking a Magnetics class just now and am not fully confident of my understanding. Additional qualitative description would be appreciated.--vlado4 05:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
