Book excerpt: Twenty-nine papers from the March 1998 workshop connect issues between chemistry, discrete mathematics, and computer science. Participants discussed theoretical problems of chemistry expressed by discrete mathematics, chemical graph algorithms, coding theory applied to chemistry, applications of discrete mathematics in the chemical industry, open problems and directions for research in discrete mathematical chemistry, and software for discrete mathematical chemistry. Specific topics include isomorphism rejection in structure generation programs, fast embeddings for planar molecular graphs, geometric symmetry and chemical equivalence, and numerical solution of the Laplace equation in chemical space.
