Résumé

This book starts by tracing the early history and development of the Periodic Table. The subsequent development of the Table is then presented in chapters that discuss the structure and characteristics of the Table, probe its group-theoretical and quantum-theoretical basis, examine its foundations, and explore its many uses and applications. Each of these chapters is written in a style that is not only readable but also comprehensible to a very wide audience.

L'auteur - Dennis H. Rouvray

Dennis H. Rouvray was born in Rochford, Essex, U.K. in 1938 and studied at Imperial College (University of London) where he was awarded the Ph. D. degree in 1964. He then became a traveling academic and held posts at Universities in Canada, the U.K., South Africa, Germany and the USA. He is currently at the University of Georgia where he is Adjunct Professor. For the past 25 years he has worked in various areas of mathematical chemistry and has played an active role in promoting this discipline. In 1987 he founded the Journal of Mathematical Chemistry and has co-organized three international conferences on mathematical chemistry in 1987 (Athens, Georgia), 1995 (Pitlochry, Scotland), and 2001 (Athens, Georgia).

L'auteur - R. Bruce King

R. Bruce King was born in Rochester, New Hampshire in 1938, attended Oberlin College (B. A. 1957), and was an NSF Predoctoral Fellow with Prof. F. G. A. Stone at Harvard University (Ph. D. 1961). After a year at du Pont and 4 1/2 years at the Mellon Institute, he joined the faculty of the University of Georgia where he has been Regents' Professor of Chemistry since 1973. His research interests have ranged from synthetic organometallic and organophosphorus chemistry to applications of topology and graph theory in inorganic chemistry and the inorganic chemistry of nuclear waste treatment. He is the recipient of American Chemical Society Awards in Pure Chemistry (1971) and Inorganic Chemistry (1991).
