CH 375 - Computational Methods for Scientists

2 credits
Trains students to investigate chemical problems using computational tools, with an emphasis on data analysis of complex data sets, graphing and visualization, and molecular optimization and dynamics. Computer-based approaches to chemical problem solving will include scientific programming, molecular optimization tools, and the advanced use of spreadsheet programs. When needed for problem solving, students will be instructed on how to use free, open-source, cross-platform software available online or from the SOU Department of Chemistry. Two 75 minute lectures. Prerequisite(s): CH 223, CH 229, and MTH 252. Corequisite(s): CH 441.
Graded (A-F) only.
