The first three chapters contain introductory material culminating in a thorough discussion of the Hartree-Fock approximation.The remaining four chapters describe a variety of more sophisticated approaches, which improve upon this approximation.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong the highlights of the seven chapters are (1) a review of the mathematics (mostly matrix algebra) required for the rest of the book, (2) an introduction to the basic techniques, ideas, and notations of quantum chemistry, (3) a thorough discussion of the Hartree-Fock approximation, (4) a treatment of configuration interaction (Cl) and approaches incorporating electron correlation, (5) a description of the independent electron pair approximation and a variety of more sophisticated approaches that incorporate coupling between pairs, (6) a consideration of the perturbative approach to the calculation of the correlation energy of many-electron systems and (7) a brief introduction to the use of the one-particle many-body Green's function in quantum chemistry.\u003cbr\u003e\nOver 150 exercises, designed to help the reader acquire a working knowledge of the material, are embedded in the text. The book is largely self-contained and requires no prerequisite other than a solid undergraduate physical chemistry course; however, some exposure to quantum chemistry will enhance the student's appreciation of the material. Clear and well-written, this text is ideal for the second semester of a two-semester course in quantum chemistry, or for a special topics course.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47732813332706,"sku":"MTO-DOVER-2026-04-23-15.75-1347","price":47.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9898\/5881\/files\/book_126_UjLS6zAwZ.jpg?v=1777051512","url":"https:\/\/layitflat.com\/products\/modern-quantum-chemistry-introduction-to-advanced-electronic-structure-theory-dover-books-on-chemistry","provider":"Lay it Flat Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
