What has since come to be known as computational chemistry was just beginning. There followed a long period in which the fundamental theory of the "golden age" (1925-1935) was extended and refined and in which the dreams of the early practitioners were gradually turned into hard arithmetic reality. As a still-computing survivor from the early postwar days now enjoying the benefits of unbelievably improved hardware, I am glad to contribute a foreword to this series and to have the opportunity of providing a little historical perspective. After the Brunsviga came the electromechanical machines of the late 1940s and early 1950s, and a great reduction in the burden of calculating molecular wavefunctions. We were now happy. At least for systems con taining a few electrons it was possible to make fully ab initio calculations, even though semiempirical models remained indispensable for most molecules of every | | 出版日期 | Book 1987 | | 关键词 | chemistry; computational chemistry; electrons; molecule; theoretical chemistry | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-1983-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-1985-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4899-1983-0 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1987 |
