Exam Preparation

This book is intended to introduce advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students to the quantum mechanical concepts employed in materials science. Topics range from experimental trends in bonding and structure to the bonding of transition metals and semiconductors.

Designed for a two-semester general chemistry course, Chang's textbook has often been considered a student favorite. This best-selling textbook takes a traditional approach. It features a straightforward, clear writing style and proven problem-solving strategies.

Throughout this text, the chemistry skills, concepts, and facts standard to the general chemistry course are introduced, but within the context of broader scientific questions and societal applications. The website complements the text or can be used as a stand alone learning resource. It includes engaging animated tutorials and interactive practice exercises.

This text is designed to teach students how to do quantum mechanics. Part I covers the basic theory. Part II develops approximation schemes and real-world applications.

This text is geared toward upper-level undergraduate students in physics. Topics include: spin, matrices, and the structure of quantum mechanics; the simplest atom; indistinguishable particles; and stationary-state perturbation theory.

Quantum Mechanics for Chemists is designed to provide chemistry undergraduates with a basic understanding of the principles of quantum mechanics. The text assumes some knowledge of chemical bonding and a familiarity with the qualitative aspects of molecular orbitals in molecules such as butadine and benzene. Thus it is intended to follow a basic course in organic and/or inorganic chemistry.

This clear and concise study guide covers all the essentials of quantum mechanics.

This book utilizes a user-friendly approach to involve the reader in the exploration of natural science. It not only introduces the reader to the concepts of quantum mechanics, but also tells the story behind the theories.
