Introduction to Computational Methods in Chemistry

3 Hours

Construction and implementation of numerical algorithms for solving differential equations which are common in chemistry. Subjects include chemical reaction rates, quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics, normal modes of vibration, and Monte Carlo methods. Only one of the following may be counted: Chemistry 354M, 368 (Topic: Applied Math and Computation in Chemistry), 368 (Topic: Computational Chemistry), 368 (Topic: Intro to Computational Methods in Chemistry). Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
