Mathematical chemistry

A mathematical device, the NSS, which can be related to Artificial Intelligence techniques, has been defined and applied in order to solve or reformulate some quantum chemical problems. This symbol is related to computer formulae generation. It has been shown that by means of the use of NSS s many applications of such symbols can be found in mathematics as well as in Mathematical Chemistry in particular. 

The catalogue "divides itself (excluding the correspondence) into the heads of mathematics, chemistry and alchemy, chronology, history and theology. Many of the mathematical papers contain Newton s preparations for the Principia". Preface signed H. R. Luard, G. G. Stokes, J. C. Adams, and G. D. Liveing. Appendix to the preface contains a few extracts from Newton s papers...

At Harvard, Theodore William Richards, like Noyes, inherited a course in theoretical chemistry. He renamed it physical chemistry. However, he cautioned students that the molecular kinetic hypotheses might prove ephemeral, and, to the young Lewis s consternation, Richards showed contempt for the notion of chemical bonds. "Twaddle about bonds A very crude method of representing certain known facts about chemical reactions. A mode of representation] not an explanation. "68 It was not so much that Richards sided with energeticists against kinetic and mechanical representations, but he did have a distrust of mathematical formulations too far removed from the laboratory. When J. Robert Oppenheimer enrolled in Richards s course in physical chemistry in 1925, he pronounced it "a great disappointment,. .. a very meager hick course.. . . Richards was afraid of even rudimentary mathematics."69 Thus, physical chemistry by no means necessarily meant mathematical chemistry. 

Is there a practical outcome to mathematical chemistry Dr. Le Roy strongly encourages "curiosity-oriented science," as opposed to a focus on short-term, practical results, partly because practical results do come when processes are fully understood. 

The basic theories of physics - classical mechanics and electromagnetism, relativity theory, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, quantum electrodynamics - support the theoretical apparatus which is used in molecular sciences. Quantum mechanics plays a particular role in theoretical chemistry, providing the basis for the valence theories which allow to interpret the structure of molecules and for the spectroscopic models employed in the determination of structural information from spectral patterns. Indeed, Quantum Chemistry often appears synonymous with Theoretical Chemistry it will, therefore, constitute a major part of this book series. However, the scope of the series will also include other areas of theoretical chemistry, such as mathematical chemistry (which involves the use of algebra and topology in the analysis of molecular structures and reactions) molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics and chemical thermodynamics, which play an important role in rationalizing the geometric and electronic structures of molecular assemblies and polymers, clusters and crystals surface, interface, solvent and solid-state effects excited-state dynamics, reactive collisions, and chemical reactions.

A widespread concept of "mathematical physics equations includes primarily linear and quasi-linear partial differential equations. But what are "mathematical chemistry equations and "mathematical chemistry in general ... 

The concept of "mathematical chemistry had been already used by M.V. Lomonosov [1] and later on in the 19th century by Du Bois-Reymond, but for a long time it became inapplicable, apparently due to the lack of a distinct field for its application. As a rule, it was, and has remained, preferable to speak about the application of mathematical methods in chemistry rather than about "mathematical chemistry . To our mind, it is now quite correct to treat mathematical chemistry as a specific field of investigation. Its equations are primarily those of chemical kinetics, i.e. ordinary differential equations with a specific polynomial content. We treat these equations relative to heterogeneous catalytic systems. 

But one other fact is also of interest a reverse movement has started, away from chemical kinetics. Formulation of the problems that have arisen here attract the attention of mathematicians and physicists working in various fields and having a variety of tastes. In our country it is common practice to hold conferences devoted to mathematical problems in chemistry. Several symposia on "Mathematical Methods in Chemical Kinetics have been held. In 1987 an international journal (Journal of Mathematical Chemistry) was founded. 

Alexandru T. Balaban was born in Timigoara, Romania in 1931 and studied mathematics, chemistry, and radiochemistry in Bucharest. He obtained a PhD in organic chemistry under the guidance of Costin D. Nenitzescu in 1959, shortly after discovering a novel synthesis of pyrylium salts and the birth of his son Silviu. He was head of the Laboratory for Labeled Organic Compounds at the Institute of Atomic Physics in Bucharest between 1961 and 1975 and during...
