Best Quantum Chemistry
McQuarrie has presented step-by-step SCF calculations of a helium atom in Chapter 9 and a hydrogen molecule in Chapter 10, in addition to including an entire chapter on the Hartree-Fock method and post-Hartree-Fock methods for the calculation of molecular properties. From his classic text on Statistical Mechanics to his recent quantum-first tour de force on Physical Chemistry, McQuarrie's best selling textbooks are highly acclaimed by the chemistry community.

"an industry standard for understanding s***ty wave equations and stupid thetas and phis."
"Good intruductory test, easy reading, not very good with mathematical explanations."
"after a semester of suffering through atkins physical chemistry 9th edition for thermodynamics, I really like the fact that my instructor decided to use quantum chemistry written by mcquarrie for the quantum part of pchem."
"This book explains the quantum chemistry starting with basic concepts in quantum mechanics and makes chemists life easy for understanding more complex systems."
The first three chapters contain introductory material culminating in a thorough discussion of the Hartree-Fock approximation.The remaining four chapters describe a variety of more sophisticated approaches, which improve upon this approximation.

Section 2.3 is a heavy section which focuses on the evaluation of matrix elements for operators on many-electron wave functions. Section 2.4 is an optional, but very good, section on second quantization techniques for evaluating martix elements."
"Great great great book for sophomore, junior students in chemistry to begin their journey in quantum chemistry."
"I work in an electronic structure theory group the first thing anyone does when they join the group is read chapters 1-3 (and possibly work out the problems)."
"Excellent book for computational chemists."
"This is a must read book for quantum chemistry."
"This is a fundamental resource for understanding the quantum physics applications of the atom and molecular physic."
"Look at the cover, haha."
"ٰVery nice if you don't care about DFT and prefer the HF-based methods."
This important new edition is for graduate students studying Molecular Modelling, Computational Chemistry within Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry and Biochemistry. This important new edition is for postgraduate students of Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry and Biochemistry studying Molecular Modelling and Computational Chemistry.

"A must have classic for simulation&theory people!"
"Great book in great condition!"
"Good: This book gives an excellent overview of molecular simulation techniques starting with quantum mechanics ab initio type calculations and going up through molecular dynamics and polymer simulation."
"When the book was recommended to me, a colleague cautioned, "the only problem with the Leach book is how it communicates a superficial clarity--don't be mistaken in thinking you really understand the guts of the problem just because Leach communicates it so well.""
"As we all know it's a great book on the subject, so there's nothing much to say about the book itself."
"Well, indeed it was a present and was not my idea."
"From basic but very useful topics like atom types, Z matrices, and force field parametrization, to advanced ones like Ewald Sums and Low Mode Monte Carlo conformational searching, Leach gives due importance to everything."

"This is a used rental book, but the quality is okay isn’t the greatest."
"This is a comprehensive intro to chemistry."
"Brand new, great book."
"Fast Shipping."
"Fantastic deal!"
"I love saving money by renting books."
"I have just bought this brand new 3rd edition and compared it with my 1st edition."
Best Physical & Theoretical Electrochemistry
Introduction to Combustion is the leading combustion textbook for undergraduate and graduate students because of its easy-to-understand analyses of basic combustion concepts and its introduction of a wide variety of practical applications that motivate or relate to the various theoretical concepts. Stephen R. Turns received degrees in mechanical engineering from The Pennsylvania State University (B.S., 1970), Wayne State University (M.S., 1974), and the University of Wisconsin at Madison (Ph.D., 1979).
