Quantum mechanics
embraces the behaviour all known forms of matter, including
the atoms and molecules from which we, and all living organisms, are
composed. Molecular Quantum Mechanics leads us through this
absorbing yet challenging subject, unravelling the fundamental physical
principles that explain how all matter behaves. With the clarity of
exposition and rich pedagogy which have established the book as a leading
text in the field, Molecular Quantum Mechanics takes us
form the foundations of quantum mechanics, through quantum models of atomic,
molecular, and electronic structure, and on to discussions of spectroscopy,
the electronic and magnetic properties of molecules, and scattering theory.
Lucid explanations and illuminating artwork help to visualize the many
abstract concepts upon which the subject is built. |

Fully updated to
reflect the latest advances in computational techniques, and enhanced with
more mathematical support and worked examples than ever before, Molecular
Quantum Mechanics remains the ultimate resource for those wishing to
master this important subject.
