Computational chemistry allows researchers, students, and technical professionals to explore molecular structure, bonding, energy, and reactivity through mathematical models and programmable workflows. Computational Chemistry with Python provides a practical introduction to the core ideas behind molecular modeling while showing how Python can be used to support calculations, visualization, and conceptual understanding.
This book introduces molecular orbitals, quantum chemistry foundations, Hartree-Fock theory, density functional theory concepts, geometry optimization, and molecular energy calculations in a clear, applied format. Rather than treating computational chemistry as a purely theoretical subject, it connects the underlying mathematics and physical chemistry to practical coding workflows that help readers understand how molecules can be represented, approximated, and analyzed.
Inside, readers will explore how computational models describe electrons, orbitals, molecular geometry, basis sets, energy surfaces, and approximation methods. The book also explains where common methods are useful, where they are limited, and how Python-based workflows can help make abstract chemical concepts more concrete.
Designed for students, self-learners, chemists, data scientists, and technically minded readers, this guide offers a structured entry point into computational chemistry without assuming advanced prior experience in quantum mechanics.
Topics include:
Molecular structure and coordinate representation
Molecular orbitals and electronic structure concepts
Quantum chemistry foundations for applied modeling
Hartree-Fock theory and self-consistent field ideas
Density functional theory concepts and practical interpretation
Geometry optimization and potential energy surfaces
Molecular energy calculations and result interpretation
Python-based approaches for chemical computation and analysis
Computational Chemistry with Python is for readers who want to understand how modern molecular modeling works and how Python can be used as a practical tool for learning, experimentation, and applied chemical analysis.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
