Perspectives in Electronic Structure Theory [electronic resource] by Roman F. Nalewajski.

The understanding in science implies insights from several different points of view. Alternative modern outlooks on electronic structure of atoms and molecules, all rooted in quantum mechanics, are presented in a single text. Together these complementary perspectives provide a deeper understanding o...
