This widely adopted undergraduate-level text applies quantum mechanics to a broad range of chemical and physical problems, covering such subjects as wave functions for the hydrogen atom, perturbation theory, the Pauli exclusion principle, and the structure of simple and complex molecules. This book contains numerous tables and figures.Content: Front Matter Preface Table of Contents1. Survey of Classical Mechanics2. The Old Quantum Theory3.
