Educational Open Call – Reference Audio Book Access (English)
Essentials of Computational Chemistry: Theory and Modelling
The UK Association for Biotechnology & Computational Science (UKABCS), in collaboration with EBO Bio Solution (UK), proudly introduces a landmark initiative: the Reference Audio Book Edition of “Essentials of Computational Chemistry: Theory and Modelling”.This is more than an audiobook—it is a pioneering educational tool designed to make one of the most important references in computational chemistry accessible, practical, and engaging for researchers and students worldwide.
About the BookEssentials of Computational Chemistry: Theory and Modelling is a globally recognized textbook that provides a comprehensive foundation for the discipline. It is widely used in universities and research institutions to teach theory, methods, and applications in computational chemistry.The book covers:
- Fundamental Quantum Mechanics – Core theoretical principles.
- Molecular Orbital Theory and Approximations – Tools for understanding electronic structure.
- Molecular Mechanics and Force Fields – Classical approaches to modeling molecules.
- Electronic Structure Methods (HF, DFT, Post-HF) – Advanced predictive tools.
- Solvation and Environmental Effects – Incorporating real-world conditions.
- Spectroscopy, Reactivity, and Applications – Insights for chemistry and drug design.
While academically invaluable, the book’s density, technical detail, and complex language make it difficult for many learners to master.
Why a Reference Audio Book?
- Accessible Learning: Listen and learn during commutes, workouts, or leisure.
- Expert Narration: Explanations delivered by specialists in computational chemistry.
- Efficiency: Turn passive hours into productive study time.
- Affordability: Access high-value scientific knowledge at half the original cost.
- Sustainability: A long-term model for making reference texts available to wider communities.
Educational Value
This initiative represents a scholarship of knowledge—not just a product. By subsidizing the cost, UKABCS and EBO Bio Solution make a high-level scientific reference available to broader audiences:
- Financial Support: Original cost £60 → subsidized at £30 for members and scholarship awardees.
- Capacity Building: Strengthens the skills of students and early-career researchers.
- Barrier Removal: Overcomes challenges of cost, time, and accessibility.
- Credibility: Supported by UKABCS and EBO Bio Solution, both dedicated to advancing global scientific education.
