Mathematics for Quantum Chemistry (Dover Books on Chemistry)
Description
This concise volume offers undergraduate students of chemistry an introduction to the mathematical formalism encountered in problems of molecular structure and motion. The author presents only two main topics from mathematics and two from physics: the calculus of orthogonal functions and the algebra of vector spaces from mathematics; and from physics, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics and its applications to molecular motion.The chosen topics possess particular relevance to modern quantum chemistry, especially in regard to the application of quantum mechanics...
