Basic atomic and molecular spectroscopy

The main aim of this title is to introduce the student to spectroscopy in a clear manner which avoids, as far as possible, the mathematical aspects of the subject.

It is thus intended for first or second year undergraduates, particularly those with minimal mathematics qualifications.After explaining the theory behind spectroscopy, the book then goes on to look at the different techniques, such as rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy.

It encompasses both high resolution (structural) and low resolution (analytical) spectroscopy, demonstrating their close interrelationship.

The many worked problems should make this book useful for independent study.
