Problem 15. In the case of a particle tunneling through the barrier, we made equal both functions and derivatives at the boundary between region I and II, and between II and III, see eq. (9a – 9d). But in the case of the particle in the box, we made both functions equal at x = 0 and at x = L. Explain why we did not consider derivatives in this case.
