Topics in chemistry with Python

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Topics in chemistry with Python
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. Explain and mathematically describe topics in chemistry; e.g Statistical Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics, Spectroscopy, Quantum and/or Classical Mechanics, and Crystallography, in particular in computational context. 2. Determine appropriate numerical strategies and define a well-designed algorithm for a given problem 3. Solve the problem by writing an efficient computer program; e.g. in Python, and analyze the stability and accuracy of the code 4. Analyze, present, and interpret the results/data produced by the Python code in a written report
Omschrijving	The course aims to teach students how to solve, analyze, present, and interpret chemistry related problems using a computer. The lectures focus on explaining various topics in chemistry, e.g. understanding and calculation of the predictable statistical behaviour of assemblies of large numbers of identical molecules, reaction rates, rate laws, spectra decomposition, crystal structure and latices, as well as new programming language, i.e. Python. During the computer Practical Work sessions students will subsequently practice applying these concepts in the computer practicals, will further learn the new programming techniques, and will write small Python programs, demonstrating their ability to correctly and efficiently solve a specific problem using computer. The practical sessions involve importing, visualizing, analysing, and processing theoretical and/or experimental data.
