Synopsis

This invaluable book provides a balanced and integrated introduction to the quantum world of atoms and molecules. The underlying basis of quantum mechanics is carefully developed, with respect for the historical tradition and from a molecular angle. The fundamental concepts in the theory of atomic and molecular structure are thoroughly discussed, as are the central techniques needed in quantum-chemical applications. Special attention is paid to exposing and clarifying the common ground of Hartree Fock theory and density-functional theory. Throughout the text, the discussion is pedagogically obliging and aims at simplicity and mathematical clarity, while avoiding the use of advanced mathematics. End-of-chapter problems supplement the main text. Contents: (1) The Rise of Atomic Theory; (2) The Birth of Quantum Mechanics; (3) Wave Mechanics; (4) Particle in a Box; (5) Quantum-Mechanical Operators; (6) The Free Particle; (7) The Harmonic Oscillator; (8) The Central-Field Problem; (9) The Hydrogen Atom; (10) The Spinning Electron; (11) The Periodic Table by Electron Counting; (12) The Variational Method; (13) Diatomic Molecules; (14) Vibration and Rotation of Diatomic Molecules; (15) Atomic Term Symbols; (16) Atomic Terms. Wavefunctions and Energies; (17) Electronic Terms of Diatomic Molecules; (18) The Hartree Fock Method; (19) Density-Functional Theory.

Revue de presse

It has all the signs of a good set of lectures ... --Progress in Quantum Electronics

The book is mathematically rigorous and the author has made a real effort to make what can be a difficult subject straightforward to understand. The mathematical parts are clearly presented with sufficiently detailed steps to maintain the flow, but also to make it understandable ... it would make an excellent source book for the library or for the book shelves of anyone teaching a course on quantum mechanics. --Contemporary Physics
