Reviews:
The strong points of the book are what one might expect from McQuarrie: very clear mathematical derivations and excellent problems
—David Case, UC Davis
This text is a bargain in more ways than one.
—Journal of the American Chemical Society
Description:
The book has been selectively updated throughout, with perhaps the most significant revision being the incorporation of computer power. The new edition covers quantum chemistry programs such as Gaussian and WebMo, and encourages the use of programs such as MathCad and Mathematica to perform calculations with hitherto unheard of ease. The new edition has also included a series of short math "refresher" inserts spaced intermittently throughout the book to help students focus on the physical principles being explained rather than struggling with the underlying mathematics. The book assumes a prerequisite of one year of calculus with no required knowledge of differential equations.
Target Audience:
Students of chemistry.
Contents:
Historical Background • The Wave Equation • The Schrodinger Equation • The Postulates and General Principles of Quantum Mechanics • The Harmonic Oscillator • Three-Dimensional Systems • Approximate Methods • Atoms • Molecules • Molecular Spectroscopy
