Fundamentals of Quantum Chemistry (SB)

The textbook provides an excellent approach to teaching students about quantum mechanics with a chemical emphasis. Both the concepts and mathematics of elementary quantum mechanics are presented at an appropriate level for upper division undergraduates and first year graduate students. The combination of this introductory material with an in depth discussion of spectroscopy and electronic structure methods is particularly appropriate for chemistry majors and chemistry graduate students, for whom the application of such material is likely to be important in a future career in chemistry.
