DONALD A. MCQUARRIE, University of California, Davis, USA
The biggest change in the years since the first edition is the proliferation of computational chemistry programs that calculate molecular properties. McQuarrie presents step-by-step SCF calculations of a helium atom and a hydrogen molecule, in addition to including the Hartree-Fock method and post-Hartree-Fock methods.

Thoroughly updated to include computational chemistry programs that are available to calculate molecular properties A series of short interchapters called MathChapters have been placed throughout the book to help students focus on the physical principles Each chapter incorporates a broad range of problems and exercises, with answers to numerical problems at the back of the book
