Abstract

This is an overview of the present state of ab initio quantum chemical calculations and their applications in chemistry for nonspecialists. An outlook for further development in the near future was attempted. Primarily, the following topics were discussed: DFT, electron correlation, attainable accuracy and reliability of calculations, relativistic effects, QM/MM and combined QM and molecular dynamics calculations.
