The lecture provides a unified theoretical basis for molecular spectroscopy methods such as rotational, vibrational, electron spectroscopy, NMR, ESCA and so on. In addition to the theoretical basis, the fundamentals of the experiment from classical to state-of-the-art measuring techniques are discussed.
