Ebook: Introduction to Quantum Mechanics with Applications to Chemistry

This widely adopted undergraduate-level text applies quantum mechanics to a broad range of chemical and physical problems, covering such subjects as wave functions for the hydrogen atom, perturbation theory, the Pauli exclusion principle, and the structure of simple and complex molecules. This book contains numerous tables and figures.
