A good book.......2007-06-09
This book is wonderful for people (like me) who had no clear idea about equations behind Hartree Fock or CCSD methods. The book is well detailed and illustrated by simple (rather simple) examples. I did the major part of exercices and I did not find a lot of mistakes: some differencies in numerical calculations sometimes. However, the problem is that some exercises are long enough to solve and this tends to stop the reader during his reading. A second point is that the Hartree Fock method is fully explained but other methods and in particular those developped in the last chapters are less detailed. Obviously this is an introduction to quantum chemistry but ... Anyway I think this book deserves its 4 stars and even more (4.5 stars). Although this book is a little old now (10 year old) it remains one of the best introduction to modern quantum chemistry and provides the reader with a general picture of problems that arise in this chemical physics field of research. This book also provides the reader with a number of references to enable further readings which is noticeable.
The Best Book about Hartree-Fock Theory.......2007-06-08
This is so far the best book written about Hartree-Fock Theory. It provides all the mathematical background of vectors, matrices and operators, necessary for the development of the theory. Then it presents the theory in a very satifactory (detailed) way. If you want to learn the Hartree-Fock theory, to the level that allows you to understand what the standard computational quantum chemical packages do, then you shoud read this book.
Excellent for quantum chemistry.......2007-05-20
This book was an excellent find for quantum chemistry. It briefly mentions the schroedinger equation and the math required for it and the rest of the book is dedicated to developing techniques and formalism in many electron systems. Purely physical and application oriented work. As mentioned in the preface, exercises are essential, the book without them appears to be a smooth reader, but it quiet isn't and there are high chances that you'll lose track if you don't solve side by side (happened with me!) So in short, if you are looking for deep philosophical insights and things like that, you might get disappointed. But excellent for application based quantum chemists.

A pleasure to read.......2007-03-10
An excellent introduction to the subject. For those a bit rusty on the math, the review of linear algebra and matrix algebra is quick but touches all main points, showing the authors' good grasp of the subject. One can compare this book to "Computational Chemistry" by Errol Lewars, which provides an overview of the various methods: Molecular Mechanics, Ab Initio, Semiempirical, and density functional theory. "Modern Quantum Chemistry" chooses to concentrate on Ab Initio methods, particularly Hartree-Fock, which it treats in detail and supplements with more sophisticated methods. The formalism is somewhat more in-depth than in Lewar's book.
One can obtain an overview of quantum chemistry by first reading Lewar's "Computational Chemistry" and then probe the subject in more detail with "Modern Quantum Chemistry".
Good delivering!.......2007-01-05
the item was in very good condition, the shipping was very fast and the wrapping was very good!

Book Description
Soft Computing is a complex of methodologies that embraces approximate reasoning, imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth in order to mimic the remarkable human capability of making decisions in real-life, ambiguous environments. Soft Computing has therefore become popular in developing systems that encapsulate human expertise. Applications of Soft Computing: Recent Trends contains a collection of papers that were presented at the 10th Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications, held in September 2005. This carefully edited book provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the industrial applications of soft computing and covers a wide range of application areas, including optimisation, data analysis and data mining, computer graphics and vision, prediction and diagnosis, design, intelligent control, and traffic and transportation systems. The book is aimed at researchers and professional engineers who are engaged in developing and applying intelligent systems. It is also suitable as wider reading for science and engineering postgraduate students.
Book Description
Central banks have emerged as the key players in national and international policy making. This book explores their evolution since World War II in 20 industrial countries. The study considers the mix of economic, political, and institutional forces that have affected central bank behavior and its relationship with government. The analysis reconciles vastly different views about the role of central banks in the making of economic policies. One finding is that monetary policy is an evolutionary process.

Central banks have emerged as the key players in national and international policy making. This book explores their evolution since World War II in 20 industrial countries. The study considers the mix of economic, political, and institutional forces that have affected central bank behavior and its relationship with government. The analysis reconciles vastly different views about the role of central banks in the making of economic policies. One finding is that monetary policy is an evolutionary process. The emphasis on clarity of objectives, transparency of the decision-making process, and a clear understanding of the accountability of the central bank cannot be understood in isolation from the previous 50 years of policy making. The changing face of central banking, born out of the turbulence of the first half of the last century, nurtured by evolution in policies, defines the history of central banking in the second half of the twentieth century.
Book Description
With more than 2700 species catfishes constitute one of the most diverse groups of Vertebrates. They have a wide geographical distribution, being found in all continents including Antarctica, where fossils were reported. They are not only remarkable in respect of their taxonomic diversity and biogeographic distribution, but also for their amazing anatomical, ethological and ecological diversity. This amazing diversity and complexity precisely provided the rationale to undertake this work: 1) it renders very difficult the study of these fishes as a whole, in particular in what concerns their higher-level phylogeny and evolution; 2) at the same time, it renders this group a very interesting case study for general phylogenetic and macroevolutionary discussions. Therefore, after providing a short introduction to the group and to the methodology and materials in chapters 1 and 2, chapter 3 deals with a cladistic analysis of catfish higher-level phylogeny based on 440! morphological characters in 87 genera representing all extant catfish families. This analysis includes a large number of characters not included in other analyses, such as those concerning the cephalic and pectoral girdle musculature or the structures associated with the mandibular barbels. It gives particular importance to complex structures, thus paving the way for a discussion, in chapter 4, on the evolution of these complexes within the whole order and thus on catfish general evolution. The results obtained and the examples provided by the analysis of the phylogeny and macroevolution of the remarkably diverse and cosmopolitan catfishes allow to discuss, in chapter 5, general phylogenetic and macroevolutionary topics such as primary and secondary homologies, mosaic evolution, functional uncouplings, aptations, adaptations, exaptations, parallelisms, convergences, constraints, speciation, living fossils, evolutionary trends, and the relative contribution of myological and! osteological characters in phylogenetic reconstructions.

Book Description
Three Complete Novels, One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly, from the New York Times#1 Bestselling Author, Janet Evanovich!
Here's where it all began -- the three novels that first brought us Stephanie Plum, that bounty hunter with attitude who stepped out of Trenton's blue-collar "burg" and into the heart of America.
One for the Money: Stephanie's all grown up and out on her own, living five miles from Mom and Dad and doing her best to sever the world's longest umbilical cord. Her mother is a meddler and her grandmother is a few cans short of a case. Out of work and out of money, Stephanie blackmails her bail-bondsman cousin Vinnie into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures her new pal, el-primo bounty hunter Ranger, can teach her what it takes to catch a crook. Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Morelli's the inamorato who charmed Stephanie out of her virginity at age sixteen. There's still powerful chemistry between them, so the chase is interesting.
Two for the Dough: Stephanie takes to the mean streets of Trenton, armed with attitude (not to mention stun guns and defense sprays), to find Kenny Mancuso, who recently shot his best friend and is on the run. Aided by the enigmatic Ranger, who knows a thing or two about bounty hunting, and by her irrepressible Grandma Mazur, Stephanie forms a shaky alliance with her favorite cop, Joe Morelli, for a tumultuous chase through back alleys and Grandma's favorite funeral parlors.
Three to Get Deadly: Stephanie is having a bad hair day -- for the whole month of January. She's looking for Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, who was charged with carrying concealed and skipped bail. To help her, she's got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk. Big, blonde, and black, Lula's itching to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car. And Morelli, the cop with the slow-burning smile, is acting polite even after Stephanie finds more bodies than the Trenton PD has seen in years. That's a bad sign for sure.
Funny and fabulous, Janet Evanovich is at her sparkling best in these three novels that launched a bestselling phenomenon.
Download Description
Published to coincide with the release of Janet Evanovich's new Stephanie Plum mystery, Three Plums in One offers readers the trio of novels that launched the bestselling, award-winning Stephanie Plum phenomenon -- in a single, unabridged, hardbound edition. Introducing the madcap humor, colorful characters, and local flavor that have become Janet Evanovich's trademark, Three Plums in One invites readers to discover Stephanie Plum, America's favorite bounty hunter with attitude, at the beginning of her almost accidental career as an "apprehension agent". In One for the Money, an out-of-work and out-of-money Stephanie blackmails her bondsman cousin into giving her a job tracking down bail jumpers. Knowing nothing of the trade, she tags along with a veteran bounty hunter, Ranger, learning the ropes as they go in search of a cop on the run from a murder one charge -- a cop who happens to be Stephanie's first love. Two for the Dough and Three to Get Deadly find Stephanie back on the mean streets of Trenton, New Jersey, in hot pursuit of her bounty, each time a little more savvy, a little bit tougher, and as outrageously funny as ever. Die-hard fans and first time readers alike will delight in discovering Janet Evanovich at her sparkling, suspenseful best in the three Plums that started it all.

Great Read!.......2007-08-16
The Stephanie Plum series is so great. I have read a few of her books that are outside the series but to finally get all the background is great! You will really fall in love with Stephanie Plum and all her antics.
Stephanie Rocks!.......2007-07-21
Fast & Easy Read! Great for airplanes, but be prepared for some funny looks when you are laughing out loud. Grandma Mazur and Lula seem to find trouble wherever they go. (Although Stephanie is not really a very good bounty hunter!) :)
Very funny series.......2007-07-01
A friend recommended this series to me; at first, I was skeptical, because I always think that mysteries are always the same. However, Stephanie Plum is completely different from the other detectives I've seen in mysteries. She's a Trenton bounty hunter with a slightly senile gun-wielding grandmother, a smoldering sexual tension with cop Joe Morelli, and a fondness for Pino's pizza. There's also Lula, a 230-pound ex-hooker-turned-file-clerk, who sometimes helps Stephanie on her cases. These three books, the first in the series, are hysterically funny; I can't wait to read more! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get a jump start on the Stephanie Plum series. I know that my next stop will be the bookstore for More Plums In One, the collection of novels four, five, and six.
gripping suspense full of comedy.......2007-05-09
This book is so funny.... it keeps you reading to find out what other mess Stephanie is going to put her self in. I started the series by reading book 12, when I finished that one I ordered books 1 - 4. I just have to get the entire series.
Get Acquainted with Stephanie.......2007-03-09
Great way to meet Stephanie Plum. This is a quick way to get going. Stephanie is not stereotypical in any sense. She's down to earth, smart, resourceful and has a long memory. If you've always wanted to do something out of the ordinary, do it vicariously through Stephanie Plum. You won't be disappointed.

These books are about bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. She's down on her luck, out of a job, out of money, a repossessed car; so where does she go: to her cousin bail bondsman Vinnie Plum. She works with her tough pal, Ranger, sometimes her pistol packing grandma, and of course on-again off-again boyfriend cop Joe Morelli. She gets into more trouble than undercover cops do and she adds just a little bit of humor to every situation. These are good reading.
