This course facilitates students' understanding of computational organic chemistry and how to get useful information about chemical compounds and reactions.
At the end of this course, students will be able to have an understanding of the general concept of computational organic chemistry and acquire the ability to use the chemical database, i.e. SciFinder Scholar.
