Abstract

The authors present what they feel to be the most important mathematical background for nanotechnology, with some discussion of this material. They include quantum mechanics of photons and electrons presented historically and with a view to applications in chemistry, computational methods of quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics including Brownian motion, crystal and quasi-crystal structure, automaton theory, fluid dynamics, and quantum computation.
