For studying polyatomic molecules from a physics perspective, key recommendations include Herzberg’s comprehensive four-volume series "Molecular Spectra and Molecular Structure," which covers a wide range of topics. For a focused exploration of vibrational structure, "Molecular Vibrations" by Wilson, Decius, and Cross is highlighted as a classic resource, noted for its affordability as a Dover publication. These texts provide essential insights into the physics of polyatomic molecules, making them suitable alternatives to Brown and Carrington.

Hello! What books should I use to study polyatomic molecules (from a physics perspective, more than chemistry)? Is there an equivalent to Brown and Carrington for polyatomic molecules? Thank you!

There’s always Herzberg’s 4-volume monster: Molecular Spectra and Molecular Structure. If you’re only interested in vibrational structure, the book Molecular Vibrations by Wilson, Decius, and Cross is a classic (and a Dover book, so nice and cheap).

Hello Intellectuals! So far it seems to be reasonable to learn mathematics in a rigorous way by not solely considering the techniques of problem solving or the applications of a particular subject or concept. Also to truly appreciate the beauty of mathematical endeavor one need to learn the reasoning behind the origination of concepts in mathematics, so as a beginner it appears to be worthwhile to learn the highly abstract aspects of mathematics like proofs, logic, and topics in pure...
