This book has emerged from an undergraduate course as well as a
graduate one, which I have taught for a number of years. Recently,
many universities have experimented by bringing quantum theory
forward in the curriculum and we follow their example. This book is
intended to serve as an introduction to theoretical mechanics and
quantum mechanics for chemists. I have included those parts of
quantum mechanics which are of greatest fundamental interest and
utility, and have developed those parts of classical mechanics
which relate to and illuminate them. I try to give a comprehensive
treatment wherever possible. The book would acquaint chemists with
the quantum structure of the basic object of chemistry, the atom.
My intention is to bridge the gap between classical physics,
general and inorganic chemistry, and quantum mechanics. For these
reasons: 1. I present in one course the basics of theoretical
mechanics and quantum mechanics, to emphasise the continuity
between them; 2. I have chosen the topics of theoretical mechanics
based upon two criteria: a) usefulness for chemical problems:
two-body problem; rotational motion of a charged particles (free
and in an atom); interaction of a magnetic field with a magnetic
dipole; details of small oscillations and oscillations of
molecules; b) the need for transition from classical to quantum
mechanics: basics of Lagrangian mechanics; basics of Hamiltonian
mechanics; 3. I give detailed explanation of an application of the
quantum method to simple systems: one-dimensional potential,
harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom, and hydrog- like atoms.
