重要的概念（例如，分子力学，从头计算、半经验及密度泛函理论）都辅以其扼要的历史背景和顶尖科。学家的人物介绍。计算化学基础理论构架的阐述都配以清晰的计算实例。2003年第1版以来直到2009年底的学科重要进展，都已纳入本版中。增加了第1版未涉及的内容，例如，溶剂化效应，如何做CASSCF计算，过渡元素等。每章章末附有习题，用于测试读者的理解程度。至于较难的习题，其中有些没有直接明确解的，可到书末寻找答案。附有大量参考文献，可以帮助读者核查所有关键论点的基础，启发深入思考。使得《国外化学经典教材系列（影印版）·计算化学：分子和量子力学理论及应用导论（原著第2版）》不仅是教科书，还是一部极具参考价值的科学著作。
《国外化学经典教材系列（影印版）·计算化学：分子和量子力学理论及应用导论（原著第2版）》特别适合计算化学和理论化学专业的高年级本科生和研究生、科研院所和企业从事计算化学相关领域的专业人员，同时也可用于自学和指导用书。
