The purpose of this course is to give graduate students in Chemistry the ability to understand electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of atoms and molecules by means of theoretical techniques, such as ab initio and semiempirical methods. Topics include : Hartree-Fock Approximation, configuration interaction, ab initio and semiempirical methods.
Prerequisite Course:
Prerequisites by topic : Matrix algebra, Hypergeometric functions, Fundamentals of classical mechanics, and Group theory.
