Description
Computational chemistry is a means of applying theoretical ideas using computers and a set of techniques for investigating chemical problems
within which common questions vary from molecular geometry to the physical properties of substances. Theory and Applications
of Computational Chemistry: The First Forty Years is a collection of articles on the emergence of computational chemistry. It
shows the enormous breadth of theoretical and computational chemistry today and establishes how theory and computation have become increasingly
linked as methodologies and technologies have advanced. Written by the pioneers in the field, the book presents historical perspectives
and insights into the subject, and addresses new and current methods, as well as problems and applications in theoretical and computational
chemistry. Easy to read and packed with personal insights, technical and classical information, this book provides the perfect introduction
for graduate students beginning research in this area. It also provides very readable and useful reviews for theoretical chemists.
Audience
Graduate students and researchers in chemistry and theoretical chemistry
