Theoretical Chemistry by Jack Simons
It describes in detail the role of theory in chemistry. Key concepts covered include chemical kinetics, oxidation numbers, electronegativity, and application of various theoretical methods like quantum dynamics and classical Newtonian dynamics. This note also underlines the importance of an interface between the laboratory and theory inasmuch as experimental measurements interact with the theoretical models. It discusses advanced topics such as mixed classical and quantum dynamics, the Car-Parrinello method, and their applications to large biomolecules and polymers, giving insight into the scope and methods used in modern theoretical chemistry.

Lecture notes on theoretical chemistry
This lecture note set deals with basic issues in theoretical chemistry, such as specific gravity, chemical nomenclature, atomic structure, and chemical bonding. The set focuses on fundamental concepts in molecular chemistry, such as chemical equations, the periodic law, and behavior of gases. The purpose is to develop a robust understanding of the core topics from which deeper study is pursued in theoretical chemistry, serving as an introduction for students at all levels.

Introduction to Molecular Mechanics by C. David Sherrill
This lecture note highlights molecular mechanics as a computational chemistry approach to the modeling of molecular systems. The fundamental concepts included are: force fields, stretching, bending, and torsional energies. It explains the different components of energy, including van der Waals interactions and electrostatic forces, and goes further to describe factors through which they were used in predicting molecular behavior. Sherrill has also covered challenges in fitting atomic charges and how to parameterize force fields. Consequently, there is an in-depth overview of the computational methods used for simulating molecular structures and reactions.
