Critics Review
“…the treatment of individual topics and concepts is very good and informative…” (Journal of Chemical Education, January 2005)
“…this book serves as a skeletal summary of arguments presented in class…” (CHOICE, October 2004)
Hendrik F. Hameka
HENDRIK F. HAMEKA is Professor of Theoretical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. Originally trained as a theoretical physicist, he studied quantum mechanics under H. A. Kramers (who in turn had studied under Niels Bohr). This study sparked his interest in chemical applications of quantum mechanics, which subsequently became his principal research specialty. He has written four previous textbooks on this subject, the last of which was published by Wiley.
