CHOICE Review

This book presents an overview of how the computer can be used in a college-level chemistry curriculum. Experts present and discuss many diverse topics to make the reader aware of how computers can be used in a chemistry program. The book is more of a survey of what is available rather than a detailed treatise on individual subjects. Implementation of any topic mentioned would probably require further reading, so it is worth noting that most of the chapters include a bibliography at the end. Major sections include accessing chemical information via the computer; computer skills used in the chemical industry such as spreadsheets, instrument interfacing, and graphic visualization; computational methods such as ab initio techniques and molecular modeling; and teaching chemistry with computers. This book is complete in mentioning all the ways that computers are currently being used in chemistry and will be very useful for those with little awareness of how the computer may be employed in the chemistry curriculum.
