I've been asking various science folks a lot of questions lately about multidimensional Fourier transforms and group theory and the consequences of particle state time-averaging for spectroscopy. The answers have been generally unsatisfactory; as a result, I've been spending a lot of time reading up on math I wish I'd taken in college. Anyone

I like ponies.

not exactly what you're looking for, but possibly helpful

'Spin Dynamics' is a good textbook for NMR - doesn't branch out very far into other spectroscopies, but covers basically all of QM as related to molecules in a magnetic field. It was pretty much our lab bible.

My dad recommended Berne and Pecora's Dynamic Light Scattering to me for similar, but possibly not exactly, the topics you're looking for; it's certainly good for the time averaging. He's also shipping me some more books that I can review for you when I get them. It seems like a lot of the "reference" material for the field is in 70-page journal articles, none of which start from the real basics that I'm looking for.

If'n you feel like chatting about group theory, send some love in my direction.
