Physical Chemistry:	A Molecular Approach

# data[].attributes.description
As the first modern physical chemistry textbook to cover quantum mechanics before thermodynamics and kinetics, this book provides a contemporary approach to the study of physical chemistry. By beginning with quantum chemistry, students will learn the fundamental principles upon which all modern physical chemistry is built. The text includes a special set of "MathChapters" to review and summarize the mathematical tools required to master the material Thermodynamics is simultaneously taught from a bulk and microscopic viewpoint that enables the student to understand how bulk properties of materials are related to the properties of individual constituent molecules. This new text includes a variety of modern research topics in physical chemistry as well as hundreds of worked problems and examples.

"McQuarrie and Simon have developed an excellent modern physical chemistry course that should inspire us to rethink our curriculum."  --Journal of Chemical Education"

It is a superb book, to be greatly appreciated and treasured by generations of students tocome. My congratulations to the authors for a task so well executed. All of us who labor to teach the dreaded P. Chem. course are in your debt."  --Richard Zare, Stanford University"

McQuarrie and Simon approach physical chemistry in a fashion different from most other books. The approach is pedagogically pleasing, as it builds up physical chemistry from considerations of atoms to systems containing numerous molecules." --Choice

"It is beautifully produced, with clear diagrams and nice touches, such as the short biographies of scientists that appear between chapters...(McQuarrie and Simon) set high standards and many of us, as teachers and professionals in physical chemistry, will find inspiration in, and have our aspirations raised by, this text." --The Times Higher

"In the undergraduate quantum course here at Princeton, we use your physical chemistry textbook, which many of us affectionately call "Big Red."  I don't think that most people expect a lot out of a physical chemistry book, except maybe to be confused.  Your book, however, I found to be truly outstanding.  It is both a thorough and exceptionally clear presentation of physical chemistry concepts.  I have friends in the physics department who survived their very rigorous quantum courses by relying on your book because they couldn't understand the one used in the physics class." --Benjamin Goldstein, chemistry major at Princeton University 

 "A true double thumbs up!  Throughout my entire undergraduate study, both thermodynamic and reaction kinetics were conducted in a very classical manner. Whereas most of the advanced courses, thermo. and reaction kinetics, conducted here in CMU are basically dealing with all kinds of microscopic phenomena. Your book has served as a very good platform to link up my previous experiences with my current study." --Lim Jit Kang, a Graduate Student at Carnegie Mellon University

Chang's newest text has been shortened, streamlined and optimized for a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of biosciences.  Most students enrolled in this course have taken general chemistry, organic chemistry, and a year of physics and calculus.  Only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required for understanding the equations.  For premedical students, this text will form the basis for taking courses like physiology in medical school.  For those intending to pursue graduate study in biosciences, the material presented here will serve as an introduction to topics in biophysical chemistry courses, where more advanced texts such as those by Gennis, van Holde, and Cantor  and  Schimmel are used. The author's aim is to emphasize understanding physical concepts rather than focusing on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details.  The end-of-chapter problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.  

"This is an excellent text for our undergraduate bioscience students who require advanced training in physical chemistry. It is primarily a physical chemistry textbook, and it does not scrimp on the key concepts of thermodynamics, kinetics, and molecular quantum mechanics. At the same time, the presentation style is clear and understandable, and the text is sprinkled with just enough biochemistry to maintain our students interest."  Alan Van Orden, Colorado State Univ.

"Raymond Chang has flawlessly condensed the fundamental concepts of Physical Chemistry clearly and concisely in a one-semester text, giving insightful illustrations that make intuitive sense to the reader.  This text applies concepts in a way that will positively impact how Physical Chemistry is taught to students in the biological sciences."  Raymond Esquerra, San Francisco State University

"I searched in vain for a suitable one-semester P. Chem. textbook.  With the publication of Physical Chemistry for the Biosciences by Raymond Chang, I now have a textbook that is just the right step up from what the students covered in General Chemistry with a focus appropriate for students going into the pre-medical sciences."  Jimmie M. Purser, Millsaps College

Having read the text closely, I am most impressed by the enormous effort Raymond Chang has made in producing a very user-friendly text and the pains to which he has gone to explain all concepts as clearly as possible.Keith Orrell, University of Exeter

In his new text, Chang clearly explains the fundamental principles of physical chemistry with an emphasis on biological systems. The mathematical derivations and examples are straightforward and easy to follow for undergraduate students.  Gary A. Lorigan, Miami University

Still a best-selling text after a remarkable twenty-four years in print, Don McQuarrie has now updated his landmark Quantum Chemistry into a keenly anticipated second edition.  Perhaps the biggest change in the years since the first edition appeared is the proliferation of computational chemistry programs that are available to calculate molecular properties. McQuarrie has presented step-by-step SCF calculations of a helium atom in Chapter 9 and a hydrogen molecule in Chapter 10, in addition to including an entire chapter on the Hartree-Fock method and post- Hartree-Fock methods for the calculation of molecular properties. Most molecular calculations nowadays use Gaussian orbitals, and they are introduced here along with the common notation such as HF / STO-6G and HF / 6-31G** to describe the types of calculations involving Gaussian orbitals. The final sections discuss configuration interaction, coupled-cluster theory and density functional theory, at least semi-quantitatively, so that the reader can be aware of the computational methods that are being used currently. Terminology such as CISD, CCSD, and BLPY / 6-31G* is introduced and hands-on molecular calculations for all these methods using computational chemistry programs such as Gaussian and WebMo for a variety of molecules is presented. The book also uses problems to encourage the use of an invaluable National Institute of Science and Technology ( NIST ) website that lists experimental data and the results of various ab initio calculations for hundreds of molecules. Other changes include the discussion of molecular spectroscopy throughout the chapters on the harmonic oscillator and the rigid-rotator. The hydrogen atom, along with its electronic spectroscopy, is discussed in a separate chapter. And in the following chapter, which is devoted entirely to multielectron atoms, a website for Hartree-Fock atomic orbitals is introduced.  After learning the structure of these atomic orbitals, they are used to calculate atomic properties for multielectron atoms. The second edition also includes a series of short interchapters called MathChapters placed throughout the book to help students focus on the physical principles being explained rather than struggling with the underlying mathematics.  As with the first edition, the book assumes a prerequisite of one year of calculus with no required knowledge of differential equations.  Each chapter includes a broad range of problems and exercises.  Answers to numerical problems are at the back of the book and a detailed  Solutions Manual, by Helen Leung and Mark Marshall of Amherst College, is also available.

A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics	Edition 2

# data[].attributes.description
Using an innovative approach that students find both accessible and exciting, A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics, Second Edition lays out the foundations of quantum mechanics through the physics of intrinsic spin.  Written to serve as the primary textbook for an upper-division course in quantum mechanics, Townsend's text gives professors and students a refreshing alternative to the old style of teaching, by allowing the basic physics of spin systems to drive the introduction of concepts such as Dirac notation, operators, eigenstates and eigenvalues, time evolution in quantum mechanics, and entanglement.. Chapters 6 through 10 cover the more traditional subjects in wave mechanicsthe Schrodinger equation in position space, the harmonic oscillator, orbital angular momentum, and central potentialsbut they are motivated by the foundations developed in the earlier chapters. Students using this text will perceive wave mechanics as an important aspect of quantum mechanics, but not necessarily the core of the subject.  Subsequent chapters are devoted to perturbation theory, identical particles, scattering, and the interaction of atoms with radiation, and an optional chapter on path integrals is also included.  This new edition has been revised throughout to include many more worked examples and end-of-chapter problems, further enabling students to gain a complete mastery of quantum mechanics.  It also includes new sections on quantum teleportation, the density operator, coherent states, and cavity quantum electrodynamics.  An Instructor's Manual for adopting professors will be available.

Special Relativity is a superb text for students to begin or continue a serious study of physics. Describing the most accessible of the 20th-century revolutions, it also illustrates the fact that nature is stranger than one imagines. The book evolved through years of teaching a highly-successful course to thousands of first-year students in science and engineering. It is appropriate as part of an introductory physics course, as a supplement to a "modern physics" course, as a text for a special topics or advanced placement course, or even as a supplement in an advanced undergraduate course. Numerous illustrations, examples, and problems are presented throughout, with the concise mathematical description postponed until after the reader has built up some physical intuition for what is going on. The book contains many applications, from particle decays, colliding-beam experiments and photon rockets to a brief introduction to relativistic gravitation, including the Principle of Equivalence, the effect of altitude on clocks, and the Global Positioning System. Ten appendices can be taken up as interest and time allow, including The "Cosmic Speed Limit." The book is a serious introduction, praised for its clarity, accessibility, and informal, light-hearted style.  A detailed Solutions Manual is available for adopting professors.
