About this Item

8vo (21.5 cm), XIII, 468 pp. Publisher's cloth, gilt-lettered spine (binding rubbed, pencil number on front free endpaper, some pencil notes and marks inside). First edition, tenth impression. "In writing this book we have attempted to produce a textbook of practical quantum mechanics for the chemist, the experimental physicist and the beginning student of theoretical physics. The effort has been made to provide for the reader a means of equipping himself with a practical grasp of this subject, so that ha can apply quantum mechanics to most of the chemical and physical problems which may confront him." (from the Preface) The book covers fundamental topics in quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, wavefunctions, operators, the Schrödinger equation, quantum mechanical principles of angular momentum, and perturbation theory. It also explores the application of quantum mechanics to chemical systems, discussing molecular structure, electronic configurations, and chemical bonding.
