Methods of molecular quantum mechanics : an introduction to electronic molecular structure / Valerio Magnasco. - Chichester, U.K. : Wiley, 2009. - 1 online resource (xiv, 283 pages) : illustrations

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

Principles -- Matrices -- Atomic Orbitals -- Variation Method -- Spin -- Antisymmetry of Many-Electron Wavefunctions -- Self-consistent-field Calculations and Model Hamiltonians -- Post-Hartree-Fock Methods -- Valence Bond Theory and the Chemical Bond -- Elements of Rayleigh-Schroedinger Perturbation Theory -- Atomic and Molecular Interactions -- Symmetry.

This provides an advanced text introducing graduate students to the mathematical foundations of methods needed to do working applications in molecular quantum mechanics. It contains a consistent use of atomic units from the very beginning for simplifying mathematical formulae, and presents a unified presentation of basic elements of atomic and molecular interactions, with particular emphasis on practical use of second-order calculation techniques.
