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
  • carry out simple model calculations
  • suggest a suitable computational method for a given problem

Learning methods and activities
