Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lectures will be held in English.

Location: PC-Pool of the Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Währinger Straße 17, room 203/204.
Time: 10:00h - 12:00h

Aim:
Learn how to describe the time evolution of molecular processes using computational methods. This course covers fundamental physical equations, methods for solving them, and explores how simulations connect theoretical concepts with practical chemistry.
