CHEM 1560K - Computational Chemistry

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Introduction to computational tools for studying the structure of molecules, chemical bonding and chemical reactions. A survey of computational approaches for calculating electron distribution such as molecular mechanics, semi-empirical and ab initio methods (Hartree-Fock, configuration interaction, perturbation theory and density functional theory) will be given. Methods for calculating dynamics of atoms in molecular vibration and chemical reactions will be covered. The course is intended for seniors and graduate students in all subdivisions of chemistry. The goal is to make students capable of using research level tools and carry out simple calculations related to their research interests.
