Molecular Quantum Mechanics by PW Atkins and RS Friedman
Kind of a niche subject but this one really stands out. The prerequisites are a fairly solid understanding of linear algebra and differential and integral calculus. It's for anyone interested in spectroscopy from IR through UV, the electronic structure of molecules, approximate techniques, molecular symmetry and group theory, computational matrix-based methods, etc.
For background on computational linear algebra, this one is great:
