The basic methodology and development of the spin Hamiltonian method as well as the terminology and symbols used in EPR developed out of atomic spectroscopy. Therefore it is useful to review how atomic spectroscopy of atoms and ions dealt with the Zeeman effect, which is the effect of a magnetic field on atomic spectra. This is all covered in the classic work by Herzberg [1].
