CHEM 7000 - Introduction to Quantum Mechanics I

An introduction to time-independent quantum mechanics, including fundamental theorems and postulates, exact solutions to model problems, relations between wave functions and potentials, the hydrogen atom, approximation methods, multielectron atoms, including angular momentum coupling and term symbols. This course covers topics useful for chemists, physicists, and engineers, and provide essential background for subsequent courses in molecular electronic structure, time-dependent quantum mechanics, and spectroscopy.
