    Goal:

    The goal of this case study is to learn about Smog photochemistry and the chemical process that forms Smog.

    The case study uses the conceptual framework of computational science -- application, algorithm, and architecture. You should recall that application refers to the scientific problem of interest and the components of that problem that we wish to study and/or include. The algorithm refers to the numerical/mathematical representation of that problem, including any numerical method or recipe used to solve the algorithm. Finally, the architecture refers to the computing platform and software tool(s) used to compute a solution set for the algorithm(s) developed.
