How To Use These Programs
Schroedinger.m is intended for use in physical chemistry or introductory quantum chemistry courses. It comes with three example notebooks and a student lesson with a separate complete solution. It is a powerful package that is very useful in teaching topics in quantum chemistry. Originally developed on the Macintosh, Schroedinger.m will run with any Mathematica system. A Windows version was published by JCE: Software earlier this year (1).
Symmetry Elements and Operations can be used at any time symmetry is introduced in the chemistry curriculum. It is especially appropriate for introductory discussions of the topic in organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry classes. Symmetry Elements and Operations is suitable for either a lecture presentation or for use by individual students as a tutorial or review.
Hardware and Software Requirements
Software in Series C of JCE: Software requires an Apple Macintosh computer with 4 MB RAM, a hard drive, and a SuperDrive floppy disk drive. System software version 7 or later is required. The programs in this issue have additional requirements as noted below: Schroedinger.m requires a version of the Mathematica program with notebook-type interface; at least 8 MB of RAM. Symmetry Elements and Operations requires approximately 4 MB of free space on a hard drive; a color monitor capable of displaying at least 256 colors at 640 3 480 resolution (13-in. or larger monitor).
