An International Conference in Memory of Samuel Francis Boys
and in Honour of Isaiah Shavitt
3-7 September 1995
St Catharine's College
University of Cambridge
Cambridge, England
Co-Chairmen:
N.C. Handy (Cambridge) and
H.F. Schaefer (Georgia)
Organiser:
R.H. Nobes (Canberra and Cambridge)
FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT AND REGISTRATION FORM
This major international conference celebrates forty years of ab
initio polyatomic quantum chemistry, marking the 40th anniversary of
the submission for publication of the paper 'Automatic Fundamental
Calculations of Molecular Structure' by S.F. Boys, G.B. Cook,
C.M. Reeves and I. Shavitt. This paper was published in Nature,
volume 178, page 1207 in 1956. Frank Boys was a pioneer of towering
stature in computational chemistry and this was arguably his most
important paper. Isaiah Shavitt has been the most successful of
Boys' PhD students from the 'heroic' years (the 1950s) and is
approaching retirement as Professor of Chemistry at Ohio State
University.
The conference will consist of six historical lectures, 30 plenary
lectures and three contributed poster sessions. Proceedings of the
conference will be published as a special issue of the Journal of
Physical Chemistry.
