This, in turn, helped clarify the meaning of the perturbative series, as one could now compare the results of the series to the exact solutions. 2976:

The standard exposition of perturbation theory is given in terms of the order to which the perturbation is carried out: first-order perturbation theory or second-order perturbation theory, and whether the perturbed states are degenerate, which requires
