Molecular Modelling for Beginners (Alan Hinchliffe)

Abstract

This is not an elementary text, nor was it intended to be. The author’s stated intent is to bridge the gap between elementary texts that can give the reader a quick start in the field (and perhaps a somewhat inflated confidence level) and high-level texts that can provide deep understanding but can seem all but unreadable to non-specialists.
