Theoretical Chemistry by Jack Simons

It describes in detail the role of theory in chemistry. Key concepts covered include chemical kinetics, oxidation numbers, electronegativity, and application of various theoretical methods like quantum dynamics and classical Newtonian dynamics. This note also underlines the importance of an interface between the laboratory and theory inasmuch as experimental measurements interact with the theoretical models. It discusses advanced topics such as mixed classical and quantum dynamics, the Car-Parrinello method, and their applications to large biomolecules and polymers, giving insight into the scope and methods used in modern theoretical chemistry.
