Algebraic Theory of Molecules

This monograph presents a fresh appraisal of the mathematics of the wave functions that provide the theoretical underpinnings for molecular spectroscopy.

This book takes a fresh look at the wave function mathematics that provide the theoretical underpinnings of molecular spectroscopy. Original work demonstrating the advantages of algebraic theory over the conventional geometric approach to the subject is presented. This new approach has important implications for modern spectroscopy. Many examples are given to show comparisons of the two methods, and the relationship of the new method to current experiments.
