This book attempts to lay down a central core of physical and mathematical background for quantum chemistry in general, but for molecular spectroscopy in particular. It assumes a knowledge of calculus through partial derivatives and multiple integration (usually about one and one-half years), a year of physics, and chemistry through a year of physical chemistry. This material has been used as the basis of a one-semester course at Bryn Mawr College entitled "Applied Mathematics for Chemists" for students with approximately the indicated background; this course immediately precedes the first course in quantum mechanics.
