Annotation -
The course is an excursion to modern computational chemistry. Half of the course is devoted to the necessary theory, the other half are examples and exercises. The course covers the quantum tutorial (program Gaussian), molecular simulation (MACSIMUS), computer biochemistry (PyMOL) and the properties of substances.
