Abstract:

Quantum chemistry is one of the sciences with heavy theoretical backgrounds, leading to significant difficulty in its general education to the undergraduates without prerequisite training in either physics or chemistry or both. Analogy in terms of concept and culture is proposed to present the key theories for the sake of the understanding of the recondite and scholastic words. It has been demonstrated that the use of analogy is able to stimulate the creative thinking for all interdisciplinary educations.

Key words: Quantum chemistry, Analogy, General education, Interdisciplinary
