Description
Participants from ten different countries attended the conference which was in many ways a sequel to a symposium held at the University of Georgia in April 1983. The principal goal of this Conference was to provide a forum for chemists and mathematicians to interact and become better informed on current activities and new developments in the broad areas of chemical topology and chemical graph theory. It is intended that this proceedings volume will make available to a wider audience a permanent record of the papers presented at the Conference. The 41 papers span a wide range of topics, and have been grouped into five major sections
