Computational Chemistry Using the PC

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dieses Buch bietet eine Einführung in die Computeranwendungen in der Chemie, Molekülorbital- und molekülmechanischen Berechnungen. Spezifische Probleme in der Molekülmechanik, semi-empirische, ab initio und MO- Berechnungen werden aufgezeigt. Durch die rasante Entwicklung innerhalb der letzten drei Jahre bei Hard- und Software war eine weitere Auflage unumgänglich geworden. Anspruchsvolles Hintergrundwissen wird weder in Mathematik noch in der Computerprogrammierung vorausgesetzt. Im Bedarfsfall werden mathematische Grundstrukturen stufenweise aufgebaut. Dem Buch ist eine Diskette mit ca. 50 kompletten Aufgabenstellungen und ausgesuchten Dateien für das Selbststudium beigefügt.
