From the Schroedinger equation to electronic and nuclear motion to intermolecular interactions, this book covers the primary quantum underpinnings of chemical systems. The structure of the book (a TREE-form) emphasizes the logical relationships among various topics, facts and methods. It shows the reader which parts of the text are needed for understanding specific aspects of the subject matter. Interspersed throughout the text are short biographies of key scientists an 606 $aQuantum chemistry 615 0$aQuantum chemistry. 676 $a541.28 700 $aPiela$b Lucjan$0445805 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807756303321 996 $aIdeas of quantum chemistry$993839 997 $aUNINA
