Reviews

"Here, in a thorough and straightforward style, is the full current story of the algebraic method of describing and analyzing molecular rotation-vibration spectra." -- Physics Today
"Iachello and Levine point the way to new technologies with great potential . . . . It is no little feat to have put the material in this book together as a readable account of recent research efforts, and the authors are to be congratulated."--International Journal of Quantum Chemistry"
