Description
Book SynopsisA comprehensive, practical examination of the basic principles andinner mechanics of matter . . .
Moving from pure principles to real applications, the QuantumChemistry Workbook is a step-by-step study guide to the innerworkings of nature''s fundamental systems: free atoms, smallmolecules, polymers, and crystals. Beginning with a short, clearsummary of the basics of quantum mechanics, the Workbook offers achapter-by-chapter exposition in a highly interactive exercise andquestion format that allows readers to work through the mainconcepts discussed. Not simply a conventional workbook, the QuantumChemistry Workbook encourages discovery and original reflection,allowing users, through its rigorous give and take, to discover theintriguing connections hidden within the science. The Workbookincludes:
* A comparative overview of how basic concepts and principlesactually work in free atoms, small molecules, polymers, andcrystals
* A practical look at the approximation level of
