{"product_id":"9780486151533","title":"Problems and Solutions in Quantum Chemistry and Physics","description":"\"A very useful addition to the chemical literature.\" — \u003ci\u003eJournal of the American Chemical Society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eDesigned to aid students and teachers in advanced physical chemistry, spectroscopy, or quantum chemistry courses, this carefully written book is unique in the variety of problems covered and the detail of the solutions provided. \u003cbr\u003eThe book consists of 12 chapters, each of which includes a short introduction, followed by approximately 20 problems with detailed solutions. Also provided in each chapter are approximately 10 \"supplementary\" problems, with answers but no solutions. Chapter headings include:\u003cbr\u003eAtomic Physics and the Old Quantum Theory\u003cbr\u003eWaves and Superposition\u003cbr\u003ePostulates and Formalism of Quantum Mechanics\u003cbr\u003eSimple Exactly Soluble Problems in Wave Mechanics\u003cbr\u003eAngular Momentum\u003cbr\u003ePerturbation and Variation Theory\u003cbr\u003eHydrogen-Like Atoms\u003cbr\u003eElectronic Structure of Atoms\u003cbr\u003eElectronic Structure of Molecules\u003cbr\u003eRadiation and Matter\u003cbr\u003eMolecular Spectroscopy\u003cbr\u003eScattering Theory\u003cbr\u003eAssuming some facility with calculus, mechanics, and electricity and magnetism, the authors offer thorough and up-to-date coverage of both modern subject matter and standard topics. Interspersed among classic examples are lucid applications involving such topics as Fourier transforms, Poisson brackets, uncertainty, the virial theorem, van der Waals forces, lasers, tunneling, group theory, and the Born approximation. Students will also find 10 helpful appendixes covering a range of mathematical topics, a list of references cited in solutions to the problems, and a Subject Index.\u003cbr\u003eWith its unique variety of problems, unusually detailed solutions, and wide range of applications, this book not only expounds the principles of quantum theory but also helps students develop the proper intuition for solving problems in a complex and subtle field of endeavor.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106528706800,"sku":"9780486151533","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486151533_p0.jpg?v=1763775790","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486151533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
