"McQuarrie's Quantum Chemistry 2e offers students a superb
introduction to quantum mechanics and its application to chemistry.
The second edition is loaded with clear and methodical
explanations, and a broad array of worthwhile problems. The new
material on electronic structure theory and computation is a great
addition and really helps students see what going on inside the
"black box" of modern molecular modeling tools."--Alan Shusterman,
Reed College
"McQuarrie's 2nd edition Quantum Chemistry is outstanding. Students
will find that he has integrated the right level of math, physics,
chemistry and problems into a single upper undergraduate/graduate
level quantum and spectroscopy textbook."--Jeffry D. Madura,
Duquesne University
"This new edition (2008) expands on the excellent first edition by
McQuarrie. This is a very clear and well-organized presentation and
development of quantum chemistry of atoms and molecules...Strongly
suggested for acquisition. Highly recommended."--Choice: Current
Reviews for Academic Libraries
