The Basics of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry

Offers all important didactical features: motivation summaries, chapter summaries, keywords, questions and problems with solutions

This book does away with the classic, boring approach through Schrödinger Equation and particle-in-a-box calculations and comes straight to the point with a bare minimum of mathematics

Emphasises the understanding of concepts rather than piles of formulas

Covers all important aspects of computational chemistry: vector space theory, quantum mechanics, approximation methods, theoretical models, and computational methods

Computational chemistry is no longer an exotic alternative to experimental work, but an indispensible companion and guide for successful research, experimentation, and reaction and process engineering
