Computational Quantum Mechanics of Molecular and Extended Systems: Course Description
'Computational Quantum Mechanics of Molecular and Extended Systems' OpenCourseWare first presents the theoretical frameworks of the density functional and Hartree-Fock theories as rough methods in the solving of the many-electron problem. Professor Bernhardt Trout taught the original course in a lecture format and included topics ranging from electronic spin, matrix manipulations and Dirac notation to coupled-cluster theories, molecular dynamics, embedding, solvation and methods of reaction fields. The course is intended to teach graduate chemistry and chemical engineering students to solve engineering and scientific problems through a full understanding of quantum mechanical calculations.
The OpenCourseWare includes downloadable notes for 21 lectures, five homework assignments and solution pages; reading recommendations, a list of student project titles and links to software needed to complete the assignments.
