| Summary: | "As computational chemistry, symbolic algebra, and numerical methods software has become more accessible, with lower overhead to installation and use, more chemistry educators are utilizing computation to teach chemical principles in the undergraduate curriculum. Perhaps less common is teaching students how software works; that is, teaching students programming and how it can be used to solve chemical problems. Teaching chemistry students computer programming enables them to solve more complex problems, illustrates abstract concepts in concrete ways, and increases understanding of chemical principles. This book will focus on exemplars that teach programming within the chemistry curriculum. The chapters highlight different approaches, challenges, and best practices associated with teaching programming."--
