Summary

Fills a gap for students of computational and theoretical chemistry by approaching the theories from a practical perspective, this textbook contains 16 different examples transforming the theories into applications invarious fields of chemistry. Includes a Live-CD with a bootable Linux system and all the necessary programs, while not being restricted to a particular computer code.

Author Biography

Thomas Heine is Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics and Theoretical Materials Science at Jacobs University Bremen. He obtained his degrees from TU Clausthal and TU Dresden, Germany. After several postdoctoral stages in Canada, UK, Italy and Switzerland he worked as assistant at the department of Physical Chemistry at TU Dresden, where he designed the theoretical chemistry lab courses. Prof. Heine has authored approximately 100 scientific publications.

Jan-Ole Joswig studied chemistry at the Universities of Hamburg, Konstanz and Edinburgh and received his diploma in 1999. He obtained his PhD from the University of Saarland (Saarbrucken) in 2003. After his post-doc period at Helsinki University of Technology he is currently a research associate at Technical University Dresden. His main research interests are properties of semiconductor and metal clusters and nanoparticles, global geometry optimization and proton transport in fuel cells.

Achim Gelessus is the system manager for the Computational Laboratory for Analysis, Modeling and Visualization (CLAMV) at Jacobs University. He studied chemistry at BUGH Wuppertal, Germany and University of Sussex, UK. He obtained his PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from University Zurich, Switzerland. From 1998 until 2003 he worked as scientific computing coordinator for the Theory Group at Max-Planch Institute for Polymer Research Main, Germany. His current main interests are scientific computing and computer simulations.
