While computational chemistry methods are usually a research topic of their own, even in the undergraduate curriculum, many methods are becoming part of the mainstream and can be used to appropriately compute chemical parameters that are not easily measured in the undergraduate laboratory. These calculations can be used to help students explore and understand chemical principles and properties. Visualization and animation of structures and properties are also aids in students exploration of chemistry. This book will focus on the use of computational chemistry as a tool to teach chemical principles in the classroom and the laboratory.
