Unique to this book, short math-focused sections precede heavy physical chapters. This ensures you learn the required calculus or linear algebra right before you need to apply it. Physical chemistry is notorious for its heavy mathematical
Wave-particle duality, the Schrödinger equation, and simple quantum models (particle-in-a-box, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotor). PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY - VU LMS Schrödinger Equation, Harmonic
For students working through the text, the accompanying Problems and Solutions to Accompany McQuarrie - Simon Physical Chemistry is highly recommended. Digital versions of this supplement are also available through authorized academic retailers.
