CHM 323 Computational Chemistry
Introduces students to the basic principles and methodologies of computer modeling in chemical systems. Lecture topics will range from theoretical discussions on quantum mechanics to the practical application of such topics in the context of computational chemistry software. Students will be exposed to various software packages and methodologies for the modeling of biomolecules, extended solids, and small molecules. The laboratory component will be dedicated to hands-on experience building input files, running computations, and analyzing the results. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week.
