Book Overview
Quantum mechanics embraces the behavior of all known forms of matter, including the atoms and molecules from which we, and all living organisms, are composed. Molecular Quantum Mechanics leads us through this absorbing yet challenging subject, exploring the fundamental physical principles that explain how all matter behaves. With the clarity of exposition and extensive learning features that have established the book as a leading text in the field, Molecular Quantum Mechanics takes us from the foundations of quantum mechanics, through quantum models of atomic, molecular, and electronic structure, and on to discussions of spectroscopy, and the electronic and magnetic properties of molecules. Lucid explanations and illuminating artworks help to visualise the many abstract concepts upon which the subject is built. Fully updated to reflect the latest advances in computational techniques, and enhanced with more mathematical support and worked examples than ever before, Molecular Quantum Mechanics remains the ultimate resource for those wishing to master this important subject.

The answer to my prayers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I used this text after struggling for the first few weeks in my quantum chemistry course at Berkeley. Recommended by my professor, this text made sense of things that I believed impossible. And, it includes a lot of graphs to boot! I found this book coupled with Griffith's Quantum Mechanics to have been the best possible undergrad combo in my junior year as a chemistry undergrad. In fact, I sold my required text and passed the class with flying colors using just the Atkins book and the Griffith text. Where Atkins is too wordy, Griffith's concise explanations help greatly. And, vice versa, when you need more info, turn to Atkins. Bon chance!
A very informative text

I recommend this book for anyone interested in intermediate level quantum chemistry. It provides very detailed information which has been very useful to me personally. It presents the material in a logical order and includes many detailed diagrams. You won't regret buying this one.
An excellent source of information!

I definitely recommend this text for anyone interested in theoretical chemistry and qunatum mechanics. It presents material which assumes the reader is familiar with multivariate vector calculus and the basics of quantum theory. The book is excellent in that it presents practically every facet of quantum chemistry in a cohesive manner which widens the reader's understanding and appreciation of the subject.
One of the best QM textbooks ever

Atkins must do nothing but write these days, and we should all be very grateful. This text is the most fundamentally readable presentation of quantum chemistry I have ever seen. The order is sensible, the examples clear, and the writing clean. The authors even manage to blend humor into the mix! The triumph of the book is that the authors keep the rigor of the mathematical presentation without burying the reader. Thus not only is this a great textbook for the advanced undergraduate, but it is a valuable reference for the practicing professional. I expect to turn to it time after time in the coming years as I carry out my research, and I do not envision ever being let down.
Exelent textbook for undergraduate courses in quantum chem.

This is probably the most didactic book for beginning students in the subject of quantum chemistry, is full of color ilustrations, solved exercices and detailed explanations. I really recomended it.
