1998

March 23-25: DIMACS Workshop on Discrete Mathematical Chemistry at the DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, N.J. Discrete Mathematics have been used in chemistry for well over a century. Graph theory is a tool of choice to represent molecules, clusters or reaction paths. Group theory is widely used for the study of molecular symmetries. Coding theory is basic in systematizing the enormous amount of chemical data available, in problems of enumeration of molecules, isomers, and families having various properties. All of these techniques are increasingly used by industry in the rapidly-expanding fields of Computer-Assisted Molecular Design and Combinatorial Chemistry.
