Description
Book SynopsisWith the development of sophisticated program packages, advanced computational electronic-structure theory has become a practical tool for nonspecialists at universities and in industry. This book provides a technical account of the subject.
Trade Review"...the most complete and satisfying presentation of the actual armament involved in the computational approach to electronic structure that I have seen, and should be available to all students and researchers who wish to understand the basis of...molecular electronic structure methods." (Physics Today, December 2001)
