SUMMARY
The discussion centers on recommendations for advanced books in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Chemistry. Key suggestions include J. J. Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics" (2nd edition or later) for Quantum Mechanics, which builds on the concepts presented in Feynman's Lectures. For Quantum Chemistry, the recommended text is "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" (5th edition, OUP, 2011) by P. Atkins and R. Friedman. These texts are suitable for readers with a solid understanding of trigonometry and calculus.
