Course Objectives
|
The goal is to acquire knowledge in Computational Chemistry and some basic skills to solve problems of chemical interest. Except for learning some basic theoretical models, the emphasis is to learn about its maximum possible applications. This course is designed so that the students will learn a variety of commonly used computational chemistry techniques, such as geometry optimization, location of transition states, conformational analysis, and prediction of possible reaction mechanisms.
