Quantum Chemistry - Tapa dura

":This is another book that everyone in and around QCPE has had a chance to read-yes, I mean read straight through. From the point of information content, this book is excellent. From the point of readability, this book should be acandidate for 'Best Written Text of the Year. --QUANTUM CHEMISTRY PROGRAM EXCHANGE The author shows a real knack for description and explanations accessible to the mathematically less sophisticated reader. Especially praiseworthy is his consistent attempt...always to give the wider, deeper, and qualitative significance of various mathematical theorems, results, etc....The book will be useful to a wide range of students--both undergraduate and graduate--in quantum chemistry, advanced physicalchemistry or chemical physics courses. --JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL EDUCATION Lowe's style is one of the most attractive aspects of his book. It is written the way students communicate, not the way pundits in the field write to impress each other.He uses specialized vocabulary sparingly, and when he does introduce the jargon of this field, it is in enough context that students may be confident in knowing what it means...I have been pleased with Lowe's first edition, and I look forward to being able to use the improvements of the second edition in my classroom as soon as the book is available. --PROFESSOR PAUL ENGELKING, University of Oregon This text is an excellent introduction to quantum mechanics for both undergraduate (junior and senior) and first-year graduate students in chemistry...I intend to adopt this new edition. --PROFESSOR DANIEL P. GERRITY, Reed College

Praised for its appealing writing style and clear pedagogy, Lowe's Quantum Chemistry is now available in its Second Edition as a text for senior undergraduate- and graduate-level chemistry students. The book assumes little mathematical or physical sophistication and emphasizes an understanding of the techniques and results of quantum chemistry, thus enabling students to comprehend much of the current chemical literature in which quantum chemical methods or concepts are used as tools. The book begins with a six-chapter introduction of standard one-dimensional systems, the hydrogen atom, many-electron atoms, and principles of quantum mechanics. It then provides thorough treatments of variation and perturbation methods, group theory, ab initio theory, Huckel and extended Huckel methods, qualitative MO theory, and MO theory of periodic systems. Chapters are completed with exercises to facilitate self-study. Solutions to selected exercises are included. PLEASE USE THIS COPY FOR PROMO PIECES AS PER JE
