Welcome to DM840 - Algorithms in Cheminformatics !

The purpose of this course is to enable the student to solve a wide range of non-trivial discrete computational problems within computer science by applying advanced algorithmic ideas, graph theoretical approaches, knowledge from related fields of discrete mathematics, and complexity theory to problems motivated from or arising in chemistry. The course gives an academic basis for writing a Master’s thesis, that aims to apply core Computer Science approaches to relevant questions in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or Mathematics. Informally, we will try to close the gap in the xkcd comic shown above.

While the course is offered as a master level course in the Computer Science education, I encourage besides computer scientists also applied mathematicians to consider following the course, too. Please contact me in case you have any questions.
