The Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry (CCQC) was inaugurated on August 24, 1987, when Professor Henry F. Schaefer moved form the University of California at Berkeley to his present position at the University of Georgia. In 1998, we moved into the first academic building in the world constructed for research in computational chemistry. The CCQC sits near the boundaries between mathematics, computational science, physics and chemistry. The CCQC has primarily two goals:
- The development of new theoretical and computational methods for the study of the electronic structure of molecules.
- The application of our new theoretical and computational methods and those of others to the solution of important problems in chemistry.
A recent review devotes 15 pages to the CCQC and what came before.
