• Sommario/riassunto: Not only a major reference work for sale to the library market, this series is now receiving an increase in purchases by individuals. This increase is due to the explosive growth in the use of computational chemistry throughout many scientific disciplinesAs each volume does not follow a singular theme, the table of contents is a vital tool in the defining the areas examined by a volumeThe series contains updated and comprehensive compendiums of molecular modeling software that list hundreds of programs, services, suppliers, and other information that every chemist will find use
