Abstract
Physical chemistry is the first course in the chemistry curriculum that utilizes numerical methods to calculate quantities of physical and chemical interest from measurable data. However, at present, there is no course in the American Chemical Society approved curriculum that addresses the introduction and application of numerical methods to chemistry. Current physical chemistry courses do not address this issue satisfactorily. Through a two-tiered approach, we have incorporated the MATHCAD software package into the physical chemistry curriculum, both in lecture and laboratory components, to study numerical methods.
