This is a study of the main methods of one- and two-dimensional high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in liquids within the quantum-mechanical formalism of the density matrix, aimed particularly at those scientists who do not have a working knowledge of quantum calculations. This knowledge is provided in the first part of the book through a description of quantum mechanics as applied to spin systems: this description is both self-contained and limited to the essentials. A final chapter is devoted to the principles of relaxation theory. The book aims to give the reader enough practice in the theoretical tools of NMR to enable him to analyze critically comprehensive treatises or articles on new methods.
