Publisher's Synopsis
This versatile introduction to the application of (personal) computers in chemical research activities can be used as a
∗ textbook
∗ practical manual
∗ reference book
∗ study guide for independent learning
Mathematical solutions and sample programs are presented for a large number of common chemical and physical problems. Computer graphics, the use of PCs in modelling and simulation studies, and data processing are also treated. Although its approach is initially elementary, the book covers most of the mathematical methods needed in research. Practical examples from chemistry, chemical engineering, biology, and pharmacy illustrate these methods.
Chemists will find in this comprehensive introduction all the knowledge they need to modify existing programs or to develop new ones to meet their needs.
Special feature: Enclosed are two diskettes (in ASCII code) which contain all the programs given in the book in both BASIC and PASCAL. The diskettes are suitable for all IBM–compatible PCs.
