Processing - the Mission of Chemistry

Chemistry has played, and continues to play, a prominent role in human civilization. If you doubt it, just touch any surface aroimd you - most probably it represents a product of the chemical industry. Pharmaceutical chemistry may be seen as a real benefactor, for it makes our lives longer and more comfortable. Is the mission of chemistry therefore to produce better dyes, polymers, semi-conductors, drugs No, Us true mission is much, much more exciting. 

CHEMICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING Functions and their space-time organization (dD) 

Chemistry is on the threshold of a big leap forward. Students of today will participate in this revolution. The limits will be set by our imagination, maybe by our responsibility as well. The direction we choose for the future progress in chemistry and biochemistry will determine the fate of human civilization. This is important... 

The classic papers pertain to three, at first sight unrelated, topics molecular recognition, oscillatory solutions in mathematics and information flow. These topics evolved virtually separately within chemistry, mathematics and radio-communication, and only now are beginning to converge. Emil Hermann Fischer was the first to stress the importance of molecular recognition. In Einfiuss 

Jules Henri Poincare (1854— 1912), French mathematician and physicist, protessor cit the Sorbonne, made important contributions to the theory of differential equations, topology, celestial mechanics, probability theory, and the theory of functions.
