Molecular Quantum Mechanics
Molecular Quantum Mechanics by P. W. Atkins, published by Oxford University Press on October 7, 1999, is a comprehensive resource that delves into the principles of quantum theory and molecular theory. This third edition has been entirely rewritten to enhance clarity and accessibility, featuring two-color art that aids in understanding complex concepts. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the foundational aspects of quantum mechanics to practical applications such as spectroscopy and the electric and magnetic properties of matter.
Readers will find that this edition includes two new chapters, one focusing on computational techniques in quantum chemistry and the other on scattering theory. The text is designed to be approachable for those teaching courses in quantum mechanics, particularly in the realm of quantum chemistry. With 545 pages of content, this edition maintains the essential spirit of earlier versions while providing updated insights into the field, making it a valuable addition for students and educators alike.
Official synopsis Publisher
Molecular Quantum Mechanics established itself as a classic as soon as the original edition appeared. Maintaining the important and essential spirit of the earlier editions, this third edition remains in the forefront of its field. The book has been entirely rewritten to present the subject more clearly than ever before, and the use of two-color art helps to make the text even more accessible. The text remains unique in the range of topics it covers, from the foundations of quantum mechancis to applications such as spectroscopy and the electric and magnetic properties of matter. Two entirely new chapters have been added to this third edition. One is an introduction to computational techniques in quantum chemistry and the other is an introduction on scattering theory. Anyone teaching courses using quantum mechanics, particularly quantum chemistry, will not only find this volume authoritative but highly approachable as well.
