Reviews In Computational ChemistryMartin Schoen and Sabine KlappKenny B. Lipkowitz and Thomas Cundari, Series EditorsThis volume, unlike those prior to it, consists of a single monograph covering the timely topic of confined fluids. Volume 24 features the thermodynamics of confined phases, elements of statistical thermodynamics, one-dimensional hard-rod fluids, mean-field theory, treatments of confined fluids with short-range and long-range interactions, and the statistical mechanics of disordered confined fluids. Six appendices are included, which cover the mathematical derivation of equations used throughout the book.From Reviews Of The Series"Reviews in Computational Chemistry remains the most valuable reference to methods and techniques in computational chemistry."-Journal Of Molecular Graphics And Modelling"One cannot generally do better than to try to find an appropriate article in the highly successful Reviews in Computational Chemistry. The basic philosophy of the editors seems to be to help the authors produce chapters that are complete, accurate, clear, and accessible to experimentalists (in particular) and other nonspecialists (in general)."-Journal Of The American Chemical Society

It's not just test tubes and Bunsen burners anymore. Computers now rank at or near the top of the list of a chemist's most indispensable tools, and it's safe to say that no chemistry student will get very far without a good working knowledge of computers and the concepts of computer programming.Designed specifically to ensure undergraduate chemistry students have this basic proficiency, Computers and Their Applications to Chemistry introduces the fundamentals of computers, then builds a solid foundation in programming using the BASIC programming language and simple examples from chemistry. The author's straightforward approach moves smoothly from simple to complex ideas, from elementary input/output statements through data string manipulation and searching methods to graphics and numerical methods. The last two chapters discuss a variety of available software packages particularly useful in chemistry.Each chapter includes a number of solved examples followed by a set of review questions that reinforce and stimulate interest in the ideas presented.

This book provides a readable yet rigorous introduction to analytical methods with a focus on problem-solving skills. It stresses the fundamental concepts of chemical analysis and, through examples from current journals and other science media, shows how the principles and practice of analytical chemistry are used to produce answers to questions in all areas of scientific study and practice. Features a balance of topics that is closer to contemporary analytical practice than those covered by other books. Introduces the tools that are ubiquitous in analytical chemistry e.g., statistics, sampling and sample preparation. Discusses methods depending on chemical kinetics which are so widely used in medicine and biology. Features a number of problems that call for the use of a speadsheet to generate data, which is then plotted to show trends. Includes answers for all numerical problems in an appendix.

In one volume, this book offers the reader a complete instructional and reference manual on using Microsoft Excel for chemical applications. The first half of the book is a sourcebook of instructions on Excel using chemical example throughout. The writing style and illustrations are far superior (for scientists) to manuals currently available. The second half of the book shows how to use Excel's built-in worksheet functions to perform advanced calculations, and illustrates these techniques with applications in chemistry. It also offers numerous useful macros and spreadsheets for solving a variety of chemistry problems. The book will be packaged with two diskettes, for Macintosh and Windows environments, respectively, that will include many spreadsheets and macros presented in the text.

Computational Chemistry Using the PC, Third Edition takes the reader from a basic mathematical foundation to beginning research-level calculations, avoiding expensive or elaborate software in favor of PC applications. Geared towards an advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate course, this Third Edition has revised and expanded coverage of molecular mechanics, molecular orbital theory, molecular quantum chemistry, and semi-empirical and ab initio molecular orbital approaches. With significant changes made to adjust for improved technology and increased computer literacy, Computational Chemistry Using the PC, Third Edition gives its readers the tools they need to translate theoretical principles into real computational problems, then proceed to a computed solution. Students of computational chemistry, as well as professionals interested in updating their skills in this fast-moving field, will find this book to be an invaluable resource.
