is an introductory overview of computational chemistry. Here, emphases are on
applications and on the nature of the working environment. Some important topics
covered here are: Molecular potential energy and a few techniques to build
molecular structures graphically. The material is designed to familiarize
students and researchers with a few of the foundational concepts of
computational chemistry, showing how computational tools can model and predict
molecular behaviors. This resource explains the theoretical underpinnings and
practice of molecular simulations with a view to improving understanding about
the application of computational methods in different contexts in chemistry.
It's a free
online resource from the University of Utah, that covers all the fundamental and
advanced topics in computational chemistry-from Schrödinger equation to
time-dependent methods in spectroscopy. The material discusses molecular
dynamics and quantum-based theories applicable to condensed matter, giving
insight to the ways of behaviors of stressed out metals, so it covers all
aspects: the students will come to a genuine understanding of modern electronic
structure methods. By combining the theory with practical applications, this
helps aspiring chemists shape their knowledge and skills.
