INTRODUCTION TO GAUSSIAN:  THEORY AND PRACTICE

 Date:      February 16-19, 1999
 
 Location:  Silicon Graphics, Inc.
            Mountain View, CA

 This workshop will be presented by representatives of Gaussian, Inc.
 
 The workshop will cover the full range of methods available in the
 Gaussian 98 package with emphasis on new methods and features which make
 G98 applicable to an ever widening spectrum of research applications.
 The workshop is structured to provide an introduction to electronic
 structure theory as well as a hands-on review for researchers active in
 the field.  The workshop is open to researchers at all levels of academic,
 government and industrial research.

         Preliminary Topic List:
          Independent Particle Methods
          Model Chemistries: A Framework for Understanding Electronic
           Structure Theory Results
          Using ONIOM
          MCSCF Methods and Applications
          Geometry Optimization Techniques
          Electron Correlation Methods
          Density Functional Theory Methods
          Methods for Excited Electronic States
          Interpretation of Gaussian Results
          Prediction of Molecular Properties
          Solvent Effects via Electronic Structure Methods
          Estimating Resource Requirements

 There will be hands-on sessions each day between the morning and afternoon
 lectures.  Workshop participants will be provided with use of SGI workstations
 to complete exercises, experiment and/or conduct short research topics.  The
 GaussView user interface will be used to perform visualization of results
 and to facilitate calculation setup.  Each workshop participant will also
 be provided a copy of the lecture notes, a copy of Exploring Chemistry with
 Electronic Structure Methods, 2nd Edition, and a Gaussian 98 User's
 Reference.
