Quantum Chemistry of Atoms and Molecules

In this book, Dr Matthews emphasises the fundamental ideas of quantum theory as they relate to mainstream areas of chemistry such as bonding and spectroscopy; elementary ideas on the use of symmetry are also included. No prior knowledge of quantum theory is assumed, and considerable help is given to the student in understanding the mathematics that is involved. Much of this mathematics is integrated into the text, but the more intricate portions are to be found in separate boxes; these can be left on a first reading and returned to later. There are also questions and problems at the end of nearly every section, and these are designed to test the student's understanding of the text and to give fresh insights into the work; full answers are provided.Matthews, Philip S. is the author of 'Quantum Chemistry of Atoms and Molecules', published 1986 under ISBN 9780521248549 and ISBN 052124854X.
