Computers have been applied to problems in chemistry and the
chemical sciences since the dawn of the computer age; however, it
is only in the past ten or fifteen years that we have seen the
emergence of computational chemistry as a field of research in its
own right. Its practitioners, computational chemists, are neither
chemists who dabble in computing nor programmers who have an
interest in chemistry, but computa tional scientists whose aim is
to solve a wide range of chemical problems using modern computing
machines. This book gives a broad overview of the methods and
techniques employed by the computational chemist and of the wide
range of problems to which he is applying them. It is divided into
three parts. The first part records the basics of chemistry and of
computational science that are essential to an understanding of the
methods of computational chemistry. These methods are described in
the second part of the book. In the third part, a survey is given
of some areas in which the techniques of computational chemistry
are being applied. As a result of the limited space available in a
single volume, the areas covered are necessarily selective.
Nevertheless, a sufficiently wide range of applications are
described to provide the reader with a balanced overview of the
many problems being attacked by computational studies in
chemistry."
