Much Needed Update

I have been a bit overwhelmed with academics and nearly forgot that I had this blog. But, with the dust settling, I can focus more on my passions and less on my obligations.

I have been perusing the internet for decent tutorials on physical chemistry. I was hoping to find something short and concise and would stress the overall importance after the derivations. Yet, alas, I have not found any to my liking. I might be too picky, however.

I simply desire a good reference on the basics I can point newcomers to so any preliminary/elementary questions can be answered there. For instance, in my current line of work, it would bog me down every time to describe the sign problem with the fermion density matrix in the canonical partition function for the Feynman path integral expression.

However, I guess if one is not pleased with the current selection, one needs to fix the situation themselves. It will be odd sprinkling introductory quantum and the necessary mathematics while commenting on current research, but I guess a challenge is necessary for one to grow.
