Rezensionen

Review of the hardback: '... a student or newcomer to the field of molecular dynamics will find the approaches discussed in Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics a good place to start ... [The book is] written clearly and informed by the state-of-the-art research experiences of the authors themselves. Reading it is a valuable experience akin to spending time in their research groups.'
