About the course
Course content
Computional methods based on molecular quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and informatics are introduced with the focus on molecular systems. The methodologies inlude Hartree-Fock and density-functional theory, force fields, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, energy minimizations and conformational analysis, solvation models and free energy calculations, periodic systems, and chemoinformatics.
Learning outcome
After the course, the student is supposed to be able to:
- explain on a general level the various computational methods presented in the course
- suggest a suitable computational method for a given problem
Skills:
- carry out simple model calculations
