4 In the past Every attempt to employ mathematical methods in the study of chemical questions must be considered profoundly irrational and contrary to the spirit of chemistry. If mathematical analysis should ever hold a prominent place in chemistry - an aberration which is happily almost impossible - it would occasion a rapid and widespread degeneration of that science. Auguste Comte, 1830

5 In the future Whereas computational methods nowadays mainly supplement experimentally obtained information, they are expected increasingly to supersede this information. Stephen Goedecker, 1999
