• Resumen

  • A curriculum for introducing chemistry students to the use of computer hardware and software in chemistry is described. The aim of the curriculum is to give students confidence when dealing with computers by emphasizing underlying concepts which are common to many computer applications (for example, the use of memory for storing data and the need to encode such data into binary numbers). Other areas covered in the curriculum include databases, spreadsheets, networks, data acquisition, data formats, and the digital representation of chemical structures.
