Solution of model problems in atomic and molecular physics. The student will learn to apply variation and perturbation methods to real physical systems. Special attention will be paid to the molecular momenta, their coupling and the related breakdown into individual Hund’s cases. Intended for physics students, especially in the 1st year of master's study, as well as other candidates from higher grades.
