Discussion Overview

The thread discusses three exercises from the book "Modern Quantum Chemistry" by Szabo, specifically exercises 2.16, 2.37, and 3.5. The focus is on seeking assistance with these problems, particularly in the context of a physics course related to atomic physics.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help with specific exercises from the textbook, expressing difficulty with the mathematical aspects after a long hiatus from studying physics.
  • Another participant emphasizes the importance of showing work before receiving assistance, referencing forum guidelines.
  • A participant mentions that some members may not have access to the book but could still provide help if the problems and attempts are shared.
  • One participant provides a partial description of exercise 2.16, including a theorem related to matrix elements and the Hartree product.
  • There is a reiteration of the need for the original poster to demonstrate their efforts in solving the problems to facilitate assistance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the necessity for the original poster to show their work before receiving help. However, there is no consensus on how to proceed with the exercises, as some participants express willingness to assist without having the book.

Contextual Notes

The original poster mentions significant time away from studying, which may impact their mathematical skills. There is also a lack of clarity on the specific content of exercises 2.37 and 3.5, as only exercise 2.16 is partially detailed.

Who May Find This Useful

Students studying quantum chemistry or those revisiting physics concepts after a long break may find this discussion relevant.

i need to solve 3 problem on the book modern quantum chemistry do szabo the problems are:

-page 81 exercise 2.16
-page 100 exercise 2.37
-page 126 exercise 3.5

anyone pls help me
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Please show us your work. We can not help you unless we first see your effort. Refer to the forum guidelines linked in my signature.
 
i'm physics student until 18 years ago and i don't finish the course.
this year i have some time and i decided to try finish.
one of the disciplines is Complements of Atomic Physics.
i understand the principles but the mathematical is very complicated for me.
it just have passed very years.
i just have three disciplines to finish the course.
if you can help me with this i apreciate.

sorry for bad english.

thks in advance.
 
Incidentally some of the ppl here don't have the book, but perhaps might be willing to help you. So how about doing all of us a favor and post both the texts of the problems and your attempts to solving them.

Exercise 2.16 A different procedure for deriving the above matrix ele...
ments uses the theorem that <K|H|L> = (N!)1/2<KHP|H|L> where |KHP >
is the Hartree product corresponding to the determinant |K>, i.e.,
|K> = |Xm(x 1 )Xn(X 2 ) . · . >


and


|KHP> = Xm(x 1 )Xn(X 2 ) . . .
Prove this theorem. Use it to derive the matrix elements of a sum of one-
electron operators.

You still need to show us some work. We are not going to do the problems for you.
 
as i said I'm with very difculty with mathematics because a don't study a long time ago 18 years. and i only read the book because i don't have so much time to do all that things.
but that's ok i understand your point of view.
thks
