• Includes supporting website featuring background information, full colour illustrations, questions and answers tied into the text,Visual Basic packages and many realistic examples with solutions
• Takes a hands-on approach, using state of the art software packages G03/W and/or Hyperchem, Gaussian .gjf files and sample outputs.
• Revised with changes in emphasis and presentation to appeal to the modern student.

Die Überarbeitung des erfolgreichen Lehrbuchs hat seine Handhabbarkeit weiter verbessert. Im Sinne der Studierenden verzichtet der Autor auf zu viel Mathematik zugunsten von noch mehr praktischen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, Illustrationen und wirklichkeitsnahen Beispielen.
