2009 Telluride School on Theoretical Chemistry

A schedule for the six days of TSTC 2009 is given below. As you can see, the days were quite full, but with a balance of lectures, discussions, recreation, and other events. The photo below shows the participants and the four lecturers in the front center.

Links to lectures in pdf or ppt format can be accessed here.

A. Simons (electronic structure theory)

B. Hernandez (statistical mechanics)

C. Tully (dynamics)

D.  Hutchinson (molecular electronics)

Links to problem/discussion assignments can be accessed here.
