Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics in Simon Fraser
University, Burnaby British Columbia Canada, announces the availability
of
Mathematics for Chemistry with Symbolic Computation, edition 4.0,
that contains a chapter on
Introduction to Optical Molecular Spectrometry
in which real spectra of simple molecules are simulated with mathematical
software as a means for this overview at a level comparable with that
of commonly used textbooks of physical chemistry and based on the quantum
laws, or the laws of discreteness.
Also of interest in relation to spectrometry, this book contains
as well a chapter on group theory, with a maplet to identify a point group
provided by D. A. Hercules, and an introduction to quantum mechanics,
in part of which harmonic oscillators are discussed in spectrometric
terms; the latter chapter includes also a quantitative derivation of the
absorption spectrum of the hydrogen atom in SI units.
Unlike other books that might be touted by this means, this book is
available, gratis, through internet at
www.cecm.sfu.ca
The operation of this book requires, as its title implies, mathematical
software, specifically Maple.
