Summary
Principles of Quantum Chemistry is an outcome of diligent effort. It provides a useful presentation of quantum mechanics/quantum chemistry and deals with the subject in detail starting with black-body radiation and ending with density functional theory. All the chapters are written in a clear and simple style.
The chapters are arranged in such a manner that each leads to the next. The two chapters on mathematical techniques and quantum mechanical operators are important core topics that help readers to understand many aspects of physical sciences, electrical engineering and so on.
The book will be useful to readers at all levels as it contains several solved and unsolved problems at the end of each chapter.
