CHEM 431 - Molecular Modeling and Simulation


This half-semester course introduces modern simulation techniques in computational chemistry, divided into the areas of theoretical chemistry, molecular modeling, and computational chemistry. Topics may include a focus on ab initio calculations such as Hartree Fock theory and configuration interaction, density functional theory, and classical molecular dynamics. Students learn the underlying theory of these methods at a basic level while also getting hands-on experience using computational software.
