5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for those with some background,
By HT (CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry (Dover Books on Chemistry) (Paperback)
A great book for chemistry students (advanced undergraduate or graduate) who have a thorough understanding of the basics of quantum mechanics. The book begins with a quick review and quickly goes into methods and theory that are of interest to chemists i.e, many electron and molecular techniques. They also provide a nice collection of problems...with solutions! It is a very clearly written and well thought out book...highly recommended. For those who need a more elementary approach, check out "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry" by the same authors.

The best book even if it wasn't such a good deal,

This review is from: Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry (Dover Books on Chemistry) (Paperback)
I bought this book to review for PhD candidacy exams and look back on it once every six months for reference. This book explains in a very clear way the most fundamental concepts in theoretical chemistry, particularly dynamics. It touches very little on quantum chemistry, ie electronic structure theory, as there are many other books on that topic available already. The coverage of Fermi's golden rule and response theory is very accessible.Even at $50, this would be the best money one could spend on a graduate level textbook on quantum dynamics. I can't imagine someone in the field not finding this book useful at almost any stage of their career.

This review is from: Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry (Dover Books on Chemistry) (Paperback)
This book is not so easy for beginners. But if you are somewhat familiar to introductory quantum physics (or quantum chemistry) and mathematics (maybe introductory linear algebra and differential equations), this will be helpful for you to understand the applications of quantum mechanics to chemistry.This book offers many of topics to you, especially related to spectroscopy and kinetics. Not only that, but also it tells you about the theories (Fermi's golden rule, group theory, etc.) to understand those things. If you are interested in the details and foundations about Hartree-Fock equations, I'd like to recommend "Modern Quantum Chemistry: Introduction to Advanced Electronic Structure Theory". (And other books concerned about computational chemistry) The only problem is that the formulas are not derived in detail. Of course there are so many equations, I think, but much more formulas are needed to explain all the things clearly. However, you can fill up the gaps between the expressions, if you are the one satisfies the condition what I mentioned in the first paragraph.
