Quantum Chemistry: Through Problems and Solutions

This book supplements the author's text on Quantum Chemistry. It helps, through exercises, illustrations and numerical examples, in clearer understanding of the subject and development of the proper kind of intuition. The collection of problems for which solutions are also provided, it is believed, is unique. There is a wider range of applications in each chapter than can be found in any text. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction and is followed by problems of increasing difficulty. Besides a number of more or less standard problems, some standard topics, e.g. harmonic oscillator, have been presented in the problem-and-answer format. The book is a self educator for those undergoing courses in quantum chemistry and a lever for those desirous of taking up research in the subtle areas of fundamental chemistry.
