Product Description
This is an update of a comprehensive text, which covers all the important aspects of modern molecular electronic-structure theory - providing in-depth background material. It derives in detail important working equations of computational electronic-structure theory that readers are able to use to write a computer program. All of the existing chapters have been thoroughly updated and four new chapters have been added. This title: provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and technical monograph on this subject; and, makes extensive use of numerical examples. Methods are supported by actual examples and not merely model calculations. Problems and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, complete with hints and solutions. The new edition will include four new chapters on: The electronic Hamiltonian; Time-independent response theory; Time-dependent response theory and Density-functional theory (DFT).

The standard by which all other scientific monographs should be judged - 10 stars September 17, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is one of the greatest scientific monographs ever written. If you are not interested in the material, that's your business, but if you are a quantum chemist or trying to become one, this is the book you must read. This book covers all of the fundamental material in the field using the modern notation and avoids preserving poor presentations of basic topics which have been kept in other books alive for the sake of history. Each of the authors is a master in his craft and they have spent an extraordinary amount of work to make a book which exceeds all reasonable standards for quality. I won't reiterate the contents of the book since the Table of Contents is quite explicit but it's fair to say each chapter is one of the best presentations of its subject available.
The only weakness of this book is that it was meant to be volume one of a two-volume set, but for various reasons, the second volume has never been published. Thus, the authors did not cover their specialty, molecular properties, which is sad given a good book on that topic is missing from the literature. The price is not a weakness because this book is worth every penny of it's list price.
If you want less book for less money, these authors have contributed to the ESQC (European Summer School in Quantum Chemistry) Lecture Notes, which can be obtained from Amazon (an older version) or from Bjorn Roos at Lund University, for less than half of the cost of this book. Some of the introductory material in this book is reproduced there in an essentially identical form.
Great book, but too expensive December 3, 2006

This is the Full CI expansion of quantum chemistry literature. High quality, but high price.
