Course Catalog Description
This course demonstrates how computers are used to solve modern problems in physical chemistry. It focuses first on methods of electronic structure theory that reveal details of molecular structure and energetics, and secondly on simulation methods that explore fluctuations and dynamics of complex systems comprising many molecules. Students will use MATLAB to implement these numerical approaches for illustrative problems. No prior programming experience is required.
