The quantum dynamics of an electron in a uniform magnetic field is studied for geometries corresponding to integrable cases. We obtain the uniform asymptotic approximation of the WKB energies and wavefunctions for the semi-infinite plane and the disc. These analytical solutions are shown to be in excellent agreement with the numerical results obtained from the Schrodinger equations even for the lowest energy states. The classically exact notions of bulk and edge states are followed to their semi-classical limit, when the uniform approximation provides the connection between bulk and edge.
