AbstractThe student will carry out a literature study on a topic of his or her liking (suggested by or in agreement with the supervisor) in the area of computer simulation in chemistry (Prof. Hünenberger) or of quantum chemistry (Prof. Reiher), the results of which are to be presented both orally and in written form.

529-0001-00LIntroduction to Computer Science Information 4 credits2V + 2UP. H. Hünenberger
AbstractIntroduction to UNIX, introduction to C++ programming, data representation and processing, computational errors, algorithms and scaling, sorting and searching, numerical algorithms, algorithmic strategies, computer simulation, computer architecture, operating systems, programming languages, computer networks, databases, representation of chemical structures, molecular simulation.
ObjectiveAcquire a starting package concerning the computational aspects of natural sciences; discuss fundamentals of computer architecture, languages, algorithms and programming with an eye to their application in the area of chemistry, biology and material science.
ContentLecture: Introduction to UNIX, introduction to C++ programming, data representation and processing, computational errors, algorithms and scaling, sorting and searching, numerical algorithms, algorithmic strategies, computer simulation, computer architecture, operating systems, programming languages, computer networks, databases, representation of chemical structures, molecular simulation; Exercises: Make students familiar with the UNIX operating system, C++ programming techniques, simple algorithms and computational applications in chemistry by means of exercise series at the computer.
Lecture notesScript booklet (copies of powerpoint slides, in English), distributed at first or second lecture.
LiteratureSee: www.csms.ethz.ch/education/InfoI
Prerequisites / NoticeSince the exercises on the computer do convey and test essentially different skills than those being conveyed during the lectures and tested at the written exam, the results of the exercises are taken into account when evaluating the results of the exam (compulsory performance component, 12% of the exam mark; in case of repetition of the exam, the exercise marks from a previous semester can be kept).

529-0004-01LClassical Simulation of (Bio)Molecular Systems Information 6 credits4GP. H. Hünenberger, J. Dolenc, S. Riniker
AbstractMolecular models, classical force fields, configuration sampling, molecular dynamics simulation, boundary conditions, electrostatic interactions, analysis of trajectories, free-energy calculations, structure refinement, applications in chemistry and biology. Exercises: hands-on computer exercises for learning progressively how to perform an analyze classical simulations (using the package GROMOS).
ObjectiveIntroduction to classical (atomistic) computer simulation of (bio)molecular systems, development of skills to carry out and interpret these simulations.
ContentMolecular models, classical force fields, configuration sampling, molecular dynamics simulation, boundary conditions, electrostatic interactions, analysis of trajectories, free-energy calculations, structure refinement, applications in chemistry and biology. Exercises: hands-on computer exercises for learning progressively how to perform an analyze classical simulations (using the package GROMOS).
Lecture notesThe powerpoint slides of the lectures will be made available weekly on the website in pdf format (on the day preceding each lecture).
LiteratureSee: www.csms.ethz.ch/education/CSBMS
Prerequisites / NoticeSince the exercises on the computer do convey and test essentially different skills than those being conveyed during the lectures and tested at the oral exam, the results of the exercises are taken into account when evaluating the results of the exam (learning component, possible bonus of up to 0.25 points on the exam mark).
