Summary

"Lowe and Peterson's Quantum Chemistry, Third Edition, assumes little mathematical or physical sophistication and emphasizes an understanding of techniques and results. It can serve as a primary text in quantum chemistry courses, and enables students and researchers to comprehend the current literature. Previous editions have been consistently praised for their appealing writing style and clear pedagogy. Lowe and Peterson build on these qualities in this updated edition, which now includes worked out examples in each chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
