Bernath P.F. Spectra of Atoms and Molecules

2nd Edition. — Oxford University Press, Inc., 2005. — 454 p. — ISBN: 0195177592This book is designed as a textbook to introduce advanced undergraduates and, particularly, new graduate students to the vast field of spectroscopy. It presumes that the student is familiar with the material in an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics. I have taken great care to review the relevant mathematics and quantum mechanics as needed throughout the book. Considerable detail is provided on the origin of spectroscopic principles. My goal is to demystify spectroscopy by showing the necessary steps in a derivation, as appropriate in a textbook.Molecular Symmetry
