Summary

"Propagators, which are still gaining acceptance as tools in theoretical chemistry, have a long demonstrated power and success in a number of areas including condensed matter physics. Propagators in Quantum Chemistry clearly describes the unprecedented utility and value of propagators, and explores how and why they are becoming increasingly important to scientists and researchers across the scientific spectrum."--BOOK JACKET.
