"The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known and the difficulty is only in that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble."

14. Semiempirical methods, although parametrized for stable molecules, also find widespread use for the calculation of organic reaction mechanisms (see e.g.: Cummings, P. L.; Gready, J. E. J. Comput. Chem. 1989, 10, 939). Since their accuracy is in most cases not sufficient for quantitative predictions, they will not be discussed in detail. Similarly, the various approaches to relativistic effects will not be discussed here since those effects are very small for most organic molecules.
