Description

---

Unlike many other textbooks in this field, the authors avoid extensive discussion around complex mathematical foundations behind the methods, choosing instead to provide the reader with the choice of methods themselves. Critical to the success of the book is the inclusion of CD and DVDs that provide a comprehensive suite of modelling software and datasets. Pointers are given to sources of further information making this is an indispensible resource for readers wanting to make immediate practical use of Molecular Modelling.
