(3 Credits) 2 Lecture hours, 2 Laboratory hours This is an introductory course in molecular modelling and molecular mechanics. The formalism, advantages, and drawbacks of a number of models will be discussed through the study of the shape, symmetry, and properties of inorganic, organic, and biological systems. The lab will reinforce the lecture topics through hands-on computer simulations of various molecular systems, including some chosen by the student. Section information text: Take Lab 501.
