Molecular Modelling for Beginners

Molecular modeling is a field of chemistry and materials science which examines molecular phenomenon such as bond breaking, electron spin, and zero-point energy. These are intrinsically quantum mechanical and therefore have to be treated by the laws of quantum mechanics. This book deals with this subject.
