Description
Elementary Methods of Molecular Quantum Mechanics shows the methods of molecular quantum mechanics for graduate University
students of Chemistry and Physics. This readable book teaches in detail the mathematical methods needed to do working applications in
molecular quantum mechanics, as a preliminary step before using commercial programmes doing quantum chemistry calculations.
This book
aims to bridge the gap between the classic Coulson?s Valence, where application of wave mechanical principles to valence theory is presented
in a fully non-mathematical way, and McWeeny?s Methods of Molecular Quantum Mechanics, where recent advances in the application of quantum
mechanical methods to molecular problems are presented at a research level in a full mathematical way. Many examples and mathematical
points are given as problems at the end of each chapter, with a hint for their solution. Solutions are then worked out in detail in the
last section of each Chapter.
Audience
For students in chemical physics, theoretical and quantum chemistry also graduate students of chemistry/physics and undergraduate students of physical sciences
