Jones contributed numerous research papers to scientific periodicals and a selection of these was published in 1988 under the title Instruments and Experiences (John Wiley and Sons).
Jones took his doctorate in 1934 and was elected to the Skynner Senior Studentship in Astronomy by Balliol College, with the intention that he should work with H.H. Plaskett on the infrared spectrum of the sun.

 Telegraph News Sir John Pople
John Pople was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1961 and was appointed KBE in 2003.
Sir John Pople, who died on Monday aged 78, won (with Walter Kohn) the 1998 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his development of computational methods in quantum chemistry; which have enabled scientists to calculate the bonding of atoms in solids and molecules.
Although none of his family had been to university, his parents were ambitious for their children and John was educated at Bristol Grammar School, where, aged 12, he developed an intense interest in algebra.

 George G. Hall, Autobiography - Component of : Early Ideas in the History of Quantum Chemistry.
Sir John Lennard-Jones had had a distinguished war career in the Ministry of Supply.
An immediate consequence of the Lennard-Jones formulation of molecular orbital theory was his realization that the orbitals, when doubly occupied, could be transformed by a unitary transformation without any change of wave function.
As John Pople and I worked through the implications of this, we realized that the chemical consequences were very important.

 Pople Career and Legacy
Although John wrote a few early papers on computational electronic structure theory while a graduate student with Sir John Lennard-Jones [1], his primary interest for his first decade of research was in Statistical Mechanics.
During the 1970's, John and his group worked on more sophisticated ab initio methods, including larger basis sets (6-31G, 6-31G* [13], etc.) and going beyond Hartree-Fock to include electron correlation, examining several rival methods which had been advocated by different researchers, including Configuration Interaction, Perturbation Theory and Coupled Cluster [14].
This fundamental principle has been essential to the success of almost all methods in electronic structure theory, not just those originated or favored by John, and has also been essential to the widespread use of electronic structure computations, regardless of which software package is involved.

 Molecular orbital
The linear combination of atomic orbitals approximation for molecular orbitals was introduced in 1929 by Sir John Lennard-Jones.
To make up for this, we often take linear combinations of molecular orbitals so that electron density is localized around atoms, and between them (hybridized bonds), but it should be remembered that these are not stationary states, so although they are useful in treating electron density they have no real meaning in terms of energy.
His ground-breaking paper showed how to derive the electronic structure of the fluorine and oxygen molecules from quantum principles.

 Maurice V. Wilkes
John Lennard-Jones, Plummer Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at Cambridge University, was appointed part-time Director of the Mathematical Laboratory for a period of five years from 1 October 1937, and Wilkes was appointed as University Demonstrator (a post approximately equivalent to Assistant Professor in the United States).
In addition to meeting these people Wilkes also got to know John Mauchly and Presper Eckert who were the principal instructors on the course and he discussed the future of computing machines with them.

As is often the case with great scientists, John demonstrated a keen ability for putting aside the many non-essential details of a complicated problem, and identifying and focusing on the critical issues.
