Bell That Rings Light, The: A Primer In Quantum Mechanics And Chemical Bonding cover

This book is an introduction to quantum mechanics and mathematics that leads to the solution of the Schrodinger equation. It can be read and understood by undergraduates without sacrificing the mathematical details necessary for a complete solution giving the shapes of molecular orbitals seen in every chemistry text. Readers are introduced to many mathematical topics new to the undergraduate curriculum, such as basic representation theory, Schur's lemma, and the Legendre polynomials.

"It probably serves best as supplementary material, either for mathematics students to see how some seemingly abstract mathematics has been applied to physical systems or for science students to appreciate the logical system that underpins familiar physical models."Choice
