Thisadvanced text introduces to the advanced undergraduate and graduatestudent the mathematical foundations of the methods needed to carryout practical applications in electronic molecular quantum mechanics,a necessary preliminary step before using commercial programmes tocarry out quantum chemistry calculations.
Majorfeatures of the book include:
• Consistentuse of the system of atomic units, essential for simplifying allmathematical formulae
• Introductoryuse of density matrix techniques for interpreting properties ofmany-body systems
• Anintroduction to valence bond methods with an explanation of theorigin of the chemical bond
• Aunified presentation of basic elements of atomic and molecularinteractions
Thebook is intended for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduatestudents in chemical physics, theoretical and quantum chemistry. Inaddition, it is relevant to students from physics and fromengineering sub-disciplines such as chemical engineering andmaterials sciences.
