Title: The best place where to learn about the Hartree-Fock theory
Product review: My first contact with this book happened while following a quantum chemistry course during my graduate studies in Italy. The edition was that published in 1982 by Mc Graw-Hill (1-st edition). At that time this was a hard subject to master but this book helped me a lot in clarifying many abstract quantum mechanical concepts during the preapration of my final examination. After several years I saw in a bookshop the paperback edition published by Dover and I bought it immediately. After re-opening it after so many years, I realized how good and well written this book was, especially its introduction of the Hartree-Fock method and the mathematical derivation of the Roothan-Hall equations. In my opinion, chapter 3 remains the best ever introduction on the HF-MO theory. The remaining chapters are, nowaday, a bit outdated but some useful appendices have been added. Considering both its content and price, I give it five stars.
