Advanced text on Jack Simons' book deals with the concepts and applications
of theoretical chemistry. It deals with foundational quantum mechanics, model
problems, and characterization of energy surfaces. The book also discusses the
practical tools and methods used in theoretical chemistry, like quantum
dynamics, statistical mechanics, and chemical dynamics. It primarily focuses on
the computational techniques that support both theoretical research in chemistry
and discuss topics such as electronic structure, chemical kinetics, relationship
between the theory and experimental data.

Millard H. Alexander's instructional material delves into more
complex topics in modern theoretical chemistry. He covers approximation methods,
electronic structure theory, molecular spectroscopy, collision theory, and
chemical kinetics in comprehensive discussions. The text follows this format to
delve deeper into the mathematical and physical foundations of molecular
behavior, specifically in the context of computational and experimental
chemistry. This article is a manuscript guideline for graduate students in
theoretical chemistry looking to extend their knowledge in these specialized
topics.
