Mathematical Methods
important in nite-dimensional vector spaces we need to consider consist of functions, with a scalar product de ned by an integral. To understand these function vector spaces we need to understand the nature of the integral. In the last part of this section, we will, therefore, brie y discuss measures and the Riemann and Lebesgue integrals.

www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.ukThis technique is know as the molecularorbital approach, or the LCAO (linear combination of atomic orbitals) approach. It is used heavily in numerical simulation of molecules. However, more generally, one cannot assume that the basis set of orbitals is orthonormal. In problem A.2.1. we properly consider a non-orthonormal basis.
