Ch125a The Elements of Quantum Chemistry.
A first course in molecular quantum mechanics consisting of a quantitative treatment of quantum mechanics with applications to systems of interest to chemists. The basic elements of quantum mechanics are taught in this fall term course.

Ch135b Chemical Dynamics.
The quantum description of chemical reactions. The scattering matrix. The calculation of reaction cross sections, probabilities, and rate constants. Collision lifetimes and resonances. Classical trajectories.

Ch227ab Advanced Topics in Chemical Physics.
The general quantum mechanical theory of molecular collisions is presented in detail. Quasi-classical, semi-classical, and other approximations are included. Applications to inelastic and reactive molecule-molecule and inelastic electron-molecule collisions are also discussed. This course is offered approximately every two years.
