Overview
- Provides the basics of theoretical and quantum mechanics in one place and emphasizes the continuity between them
- Uniquely presented to be used for self-taught courses covering theoretical and quantum mechanics
- Each chapter includes a detailed outline, a summary, self-assessment questions for which answers can be found in the text
- Invaluable for chemistry undergraduate and graduate students, chemists, other non-physical scientists, engineering students of modern techniques and technology, specialists who need a better understanding of quantum mechanics

About this book
Reviews
"I like the approach followed very much. [...] He shows clearly that these more advanced and powerful methods can be straightforwardly applied to these problems. His transparant and elegant way of presentation will bring a deeper and more bountiful insight to the student in classical and quantum mechanics[...]"
(Steven Stolte, Department of Chemistry, Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands)
"[...]I think it is a very useful book to have on my bookshelves, especially since it makes a clear connection between classical and quantum mechanics. [...]it is very useful for me and theoretically oriented chemists [...]I found the book very useful in preparing my lectures for my first-year quantum chemistry course as it gave me more insight into the connection between quantum and classical mechanics."
(Joop van Lenthe, Theoretical Chemistry Group, Utrecht University, The Netherlands)
