Book Synopsis The Unitary Group in Quantum Chemistry by : Frederick Albert Matsen
Download or read book The Unitary Group in Quantum Chemistry written by Frederick Albert Matsen. This book was released on 1986. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major concern of quantum chemistry is the prediction of properties of atoms and molecules. These predictions can be based on the solutions to certain theoretical equations. The solutions to equations for molecular systems are usually not exact. Approximate solutions therefore have to be obtained by the application of sophisticated mathematical techniques. The application of symmetry theory is essential in this process. Unitary groups arise from the application of this symmetry theory. This book concerns the use of the unitary group in such quantum chemistry calculations. The subject will be of interest to physicists and those chemists who have a strong mathematical leaning and who are developing methods for calculating molecular properties by quantum mechanical methods.
