Abstract

Mathematical chemistry or more accurately discrete mathematical chemistry had a tremendous growth spurt in the second half of the twentieth century and the same trend is continuing in the twenty first century. This continual growth was fueled primarily by two major factors: 1) Novel applications of discrete mathematical concepts to chemical and biological systems, and 2) Availability of high speed computers and relevant software whereby hypothesis driven as well as discovery oriented research on large data sets could be carried out. This led to the development of not only a plethora of new concepts, but also to various useful applications. This chapter will discuss the major milestones in the development of hierarchical QSARs for the prediction of physical as well as biological properties of various classes of chemicals by the Basak group of researchers using mathematical descriptors and different statistical methods.
