The first time I have contact with this book was in 1999 when I was a post-graduate student. The preparation of Quantum Chemistry classes for undergraduate students at that time focused mainly in theory with little applications to rationalize the concepts. The book of Johnson and Pedersen is one of the most complete book with problems in quantum physical and chemistry areas. The problems are exposed clearly while the steps towards the solution is also very clear. The major drawback of the book is the old machine typewriter of the text, being this book not very appeal to new readers. In fact, the new version is a digitalised version of the old version and putted a new cover. In any case I have no doubt to strongly recommend this book both to under and post-graduate students.

Varied Problems Yield Good Refresher
19 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This collection of numerous problems in both old atomic theory as well as (slightly) more modern theory is a great review to students who may have taken introductory QM classes and need a refresher, or as a supplement to those students currently learning QM. The topics covered are varied and problems include complete solutions. Overall a good volume to include in any early theorist's collection.

Mohsin Netherlands.

Format:Paperback
This is one of the most complete problem and solution book for the undergraduate quantum physics I have seen. Don't be disappointed by the look of this book, although it is printed somewhat unusual i.e cheap paper small fonts but, its complete.
The problems are much like the problems you can find in quantum chemistry or quantum mechanics books( undergraduate) and the solutions are clear and concise. Of course prior knowledge in quantum mechanics and physical chemistry is required but that you already have if you are looking for a solution book parallel with your text book.
At the beginning of every chapter some explanation and key points are given that help to recall from text book without opening the text book.
I would say, its cheap and its almost complete for undergraduate in physics and more than complete for undergraduate in chemistry.
5 stars because of the price and quality.

Fine Book - Can't Look at It, though
13 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Its been covered that its a good Quantum problems book, but I really can't read it. I knew it was old, but it looks like it was done on a type-writer. Can't fault them though, Caveat Emptor.
