Description
Ideas of Quantum Chemistry shows how quantum mechanics is applied to chemistry to give it a theoretical foundation. The
structure of the book (a TREE-form) emphasizes the logical relationships between various topics, facts and methods. It shows the reader
which parts of the text are needed for understanding specific aspects of the subject matter. Interspersed throughout the text are short
biographies of key scientists and their contributions to the development of the field.
Ideas of Quantum Chemistry has
both textbook and scientific reference work aspects. Like a textbook, the material is organized into digestable sections with each chapter
following the same structure. It answers frequently asked questions. The most important conclusions and the essential mathematical formulae
are highlighted in the text.
In its reference aspects, it has a broader range than traditional quantum chemistry books and reviews virtually
all of the pertinent literature. The book is as such useful both for beginners as well as for specialists in advanced topics of quantum
chemistry.
The book is supplemented by an appendix on the Internet: http://www.chem.uw.edu.pl/ideas/.
Audience
For chemistry undergraduates and graduates, professors, researchers and in particular those studying quantum chemistry - from beginners
to professionals. Also beneficial to those involved in biology, biotechnology, physics, astronomy, material sciences.
