Computers in Chemistry

The book describes the fundamentals of computers to enable students to develop and write simple programs related to chemistry. Written with an aim to fill the void existing at graduate level, the attempt here has been to trigger the interest of the students in the direction of the growing application potential of computers in the field of chemistry. The language discussed are BASIC, FORTRAN and C. Beginning first with the principles of a language, the book describes control statements and gives a brief introduction to arrays, functions, sub-routines and sequential files.
