Although the second edition of this well established undergraduate textbook on molecular quantum mechanics follows the same basic outline as the first edition, it has been extensively revised. Whilst preserving the clear and sometimes informal style of the first edition, Dr Atkins has supplemented the text with 54 worked examples and 267 problems.
