I love you THIS much!,
I’m a grad physics student, rather than a chemist. But I’m using this book in a Physical Chemistry class because my school doesn’t have an Atomic & Molecular class. Now, maybe I’m saying this because I already have a background in Quantum Mechanics … but this book is awesome. My instructor assigns all or nearly all of the end-of-chapter problems each week. And I’m able to flip to the back of the book and check to see if my numbers agree. It may be be Quantum Chemistry, rather than Quantum Mechanics, but aside from the chemical modeling which isn’t as applicable for physicists, Levine just does a better job of conveying quantum mechnics than most Q.M. books I’ve seen. He’s able to keep things simple, and not clog up the logic process with mathematical proofs. If you need a math proof, he gives you the reference. But the important stuff is proven, and he gives a lot of examples to help the process. As a bonus to physicists, a lot of the problems require some number crunching. And in this age of physical symbolism, it is easy to get rusty at dealing with real numbers, real units and real dimensions. I’ll even go so far as to say that before I read Levine, I never really had a complete grasp of Q.M.. And I’ve used decent books before this; Merzbacher, Saxon, a little Cohen-Tenoudji, Ter Har, Lim and Griffiths. This one is my favorite, and imagine, it’s not even officially a physics book!

Excellent textbook for Quantum Chemistry,
quantum chemistry a special field of the quantum-mechanical theory has always been a very tricky course for all the chemistry students around the world, because of the demanding mathematical background they have to possess in order to comprehend the extremely difficult concepts and applications of
the best – up to now – theory we have to understand phenomena at the atomic and molecular level.
This textbook is the best i know in the field because Pf.
Ira Levine provides the necessary Maths in a really instructive way which chemists will appreciate with a great relief!
All the mathematics they will need is contained in this book
so they won’t have to study it from a different sourse , wasting time and getting disappointed!
On the other hand, the order of the chapters is excellent
and the problems at the end of each chapter solidify your understanding of what you have already read during the chapter.
There are also answers to selected problems at the end of the book
I higly recommend this textbook to all the chemists who would love to really understand Quantum Chemistry!
