Description

Mathematics for Quantum Chemistry by Jay Martin Anderson provides an introduction to the mathematical formalism used in problems of molecular structure and motion. The author covers two main topics from mathematics, including the calculus of orthogonal functions and the algebra of vector spaces, as well as two topics from physics: the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics and its applications to molecular motion. These topics are chosen for their relevance to modern quantum chemistry, particularly in relation to applying quantum mechanics to molecular spectroscopy. The book assumes a certain level of prior knowledge, including calculus through partial derivatives and multiple integration, a year of physics, and chemistry through a year of physical chemistry. By covering these fundamental concepts, Mathematics for Quantum Chemistry establishes the foundations for a physical and mathematical background in quantum chemistry and molecular spectroscopy.
