Short description
In its short (30 year) history, computational chemistry has become one of the mainstays of modern industrial and academic chemistry. Computer methods are used to solve chemical problems that would be intractable or even impossible via experimental methods. Today, computer chemistry is acknowledged to be a major subdivision of chemistry, e.g. in drug design, molecular models can be simulated to predict which are the active compounds and how they will "fit" the receptors in the brain in order to make them effective. The Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry (ECC) has been conceived to provide an appropriate, comprehensive reference work to describe the many aspects of this young discipline. Designed to fill the gap between one-volume textbooks and multi-volume series published over many years, this will be the most modern, complete and authoritative reference work on the subject. The rapid emergence of computational chemistry as a new discipline with applications throughout chemistry means that the Encyclopedia will fill an important role in providing information for teachers and students as well as for active researchers.
