Advanced Topics in Theoretical Chemical Physics

"Advanced Topics in Theoretical Chemical Physics" is a collection of 20 selected papers from the scientific presentations of the Fourth Congress of the International Society for Theoretical Chemical Physics (ISTCP) held at Marly-le-Roi, France, in July 2002. "Advanced Topics in Theoretical Chemical Physics" encompasses a broad spectrum in which scientists place special emphasis on theoretical methods in chemistry and physics. The chapters in the book are divided into five section: Advances Chemical Thermodynamics : Electronic Structure of Molecular Systems : Molecular Interaction and Dynamics : Condensed Matter : Playing with Numbers. This book is an invaluable resource for all academics and researchers interested in theoretical, quantum or statistical, chemical physics or physical chemistry. It presents a selection of some of the most advanced methods, results and insights in this exciting area.
