Computers in Chemistry and Biochemistry is a January term course (offered in 1995) introducing various computer applications that are used in learning and doing chemistry. These include spreadsheets, TK Solver, Mathematica, Chem3D Plus, and Spartan. The course also focuses on chemistry applications on the Internet, especially via the World Wide Web (WWW). The course outline and many of the course materials are available on the Web.

With support from the National Science Foundation and under the direction of Roger DeKock, Calvin's computational chemist, we have developed materials suitable for introducing aspects of computational chemistry into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum.
