Lecture Notes and Instructional Material in Theoretical Chemistry
This lecture note explains a number of chapters on advanced topics
in various aspects of modern theoretical chemistry. Topics covered includes:
approximation methods, atomic and molecular electronic structure, molecular
spectroscopy, collision theory and chemical kinetics.
There are already a
range of textbooks available that aim to help chemistry students develop their
mathematical knowledge and skills. This guide is not intended to replace those,
or indeed the notes provided by your lecturers and tutors, but instead it
provides an additional source of material presented in a quick reference style
allowing you to explore key mathematical ideas quickly and succinctly.
This note explains the following topics: Wave Mechanics, Fundamental
Concepts of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Dynamics, Angular Momentum, Approximation
Methods, Symmetry in Quantum Mechanics, Theory of chemical bonding, Scattering
Theory and Relativistic Quantum Mechanics.
