Welcome to QC-Edu!#
QC-Edu adapts principles of modern software development to develop free and open-source educational materials to modernize scientific education by integrating hands-on computation and computer programming. We also lead workshops where we provide basic training in computer programming, software development, and the QC-Devs software ecosystem, typically in the context of theoretical and computational chemistry.
Courses:#
QC-Edu courses features several new technologies:
using computer programming (Python and Jupyter Notebooks) to reduce the need for “tedious” mathematical manipulations and allow relevant examples to be considered
using interactive online materials (Jupyter Book) to promote active-learning
using automated testing (GitHub Classroom) to provide immediate objective feedback.
Quantum Chemistry: Delve into the fundamentals of quantum chemistry in this foundational course. Explore key concepts, principles, and computational methods essential for understanding quantum phenomena in chemistry.
Software Design for Chemists and Computational Scientists Introduction to the tools and tricks of software development, in the context of quantum chemistry and physics.
Developers:#
QC-Edu grew out of the QC-Devs community, and was designed to further QC-Devs’s mission to promote free and open-source software across the computational sciences, but especially in chemistry and physics. The leading developers, both at a strategic and practical level, are Farnaz Heidar-Zadeh, Valerii (Rick) Chuiko, and Paul W. Ayers.
