Description
Thesis in theoretical chemistry designed for the Elliott 503, but ultimately developed on the IBM 650, New Zealand's first electronic digital computer installed at the Treasury in Wellington.

"This thesis, the first thesis in theoretical chemistry submitted for the degree of Master of Science at Victoria University of Wellington, has been designed to illustrate two alternative approaches to theoretical studies. The first five chapters illustrate the modern use of operator orbital calculations for large organic molecules, using a giant high speed electronic computer." - preface.
