CK1310 Python Programming for Chemical Sciences

SF1625 Calculus in one variable

The course provides basic knowledge about mathematical modeling, numerical methods and their role and function for chemistry applications, and structured programming for implementation of mathematical models. The course projects target areas closely related to chemistry.

The course contains:

• A discussion about the role of modeling in chemistry
• Design of a project in chemistry with focus on mathematical modeling
• Implementation in Python of a numerical model
• Literature study and handling of references
• Self reflection based on group dynamics and processes
• Report writing

After course completion, the student shall demonstrate skills and ability by

• Implementing a basic mathematical model with theoretical chemistry in a well structured program written in Python
• Showing ability to present goals, implementation, and results of a programming project in written form
