A: Quantum Chemistry (588k)
This is a unique book with a different aim from other books
on the subject. The idea is to provide readers with the "big picture"
first, yet at a level that helps further the study of physical
chemistry. The text covers all the important topics in physical
chemistry — thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, quantum
chemistry, and chemical kinetics — staying rigorously close to the
basic theory, using appropriate mathematics but avoiding long
derivations. Moreover, the book is supplemented by a CD-ROM to make it
more comprehensive, interactive and useful for a wider audience. The
CD-ROM contains examples, extended discussion, exercises and details of
important derivations to reinforce understanding of physical chemistry.
