This book provides an introduction to the classical, quantum and symmetry aspects of multipole theory, demonstrating the successes of the theory and also its unphysical aspects. It presents a transformation theory, which removes these unphysical properties. The book will be of interest to physics students wishing to advance their knowledge of multipole theory, and also a useful reference work for molecular and optical physicists, theoretical chemists working on multipole effects, solid state physicists studying the effects of electromagnetic fields on condensed matter, engineers and applied mathematicians with interests in anisotrpoic materials. An interesting recent development has been the increasing use of computer calculations in applications of multipole theory. The book should assist computational physicists and chemists wishing to work in this area to acquire the necessary background in multipole theory.

Industry Reviews

`... definitely carries the subject forward in a convincing way. ' David Buckingham, University of Cambridge `... clearly fills a gap ... gives a clear and complete picture of the strengths and weaknesses of multipole theory.' G. Rikken, National Pulsed Magnetic Field Laboratory, Toulouse, France `... a rare example of a detailed analysis based on a quantum mechanical description. ... a very useful book.' E.O. Kamenetskii, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel `A strong aspect of the book is indeed how it uses results from multipole theory to explain physics, from more simple properties such as electro- and magnetostatic forces and due to the multipole moments, to optical properties of different materials and physics of molecules.' Stefan Jakobsson (Goteborg), Zentralblatt MATH Vol 1093
