	John Pople
		John Anthony Pople (born October 31, 1925) is a theoretical chemist.
		Pople to this day considers himself more of a mathematician than a chemist, but theoretical chemists consider him one of the most important of their number.
		His first major contribution was a theory of approximate molecular orbital (MO) calculations on pi electron[?] systems in 1953, identical to the one developed by Rudolph Pariser and Robert G. Parr in the same year, and now called the Pariser-Parr-Pople[?] (PPP) method.

	Guardian \| Sir John Pople
		Pople was rewarded specifically for developing a computer program called Gaussian, which made possible the theoretical study of molecules, their properties and how they linked together in chemical reactions.
		Pople took a job with the Bristol Aeroplane Company, but was determined to use his mathematical skills in some branch of science, and kept looking for a way to return to Cambridge.
		Pople's next 10 years were spent as a research fellow at Trinity College, and then as a lecturer in the mathematics faculty.

		John Pople became a research fellow at Trinity College of Cambridge University in 1951, and lecturer on the mathematical faculty in 1954.
		Pople was always more interested in making the computational approach available for application to a large number of people than in going for the highest level of sophistication for some selected systems.
		Pople’s general objective, however, was always to produce theories and the associated computational techniques that would be extensively applicable and illuminate as many chemical properties as possible.

	The quantum leap that won a Nobel prize - Obituaries - www.smh.com.au
		Sir John Pople, who has died aged 78, won (with Walter Kohn) the 1998 Nobel prize in chemistry for his development of computational methods in quantum chemistry; these have enabled scientists to calculate the bonding of atoms in solids and molecules.
		Today, Pople's program is used to investigate a variety of problems and processes, including the structure of crystals, the chemical make-up of interstellar matter, why chemicals disrupt the ozone layer, the dynamics of chemical reactions and the chemical interactions of drugs.
		Pople soon developed an interest in the theory of liquids and, after graduating, became a research student of Sir John Lennard-Jones, taking his doctorate in the properties of the water molecule.

		Pople kept simple things simple, and had the gift of making complicated material appear simple as well." In short, John Pople who was the quintessential basic research scientist made profound and lasting contributions to applied research and development as well as to pure research.
		But in turn Pople's work rests on what one of the giants of theoretical physics, Paul Dirac summarised as, "The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of large parts of physics and the whole of chemistry are...
		The amalgam of Pople's brilliance, his thorough grounding in mathematics and physics, his driving interest in chemistry, and the power of the newly available computers created the environment for quantum chemistry (the application of quantum mechanics to chemical problems) to emerge as a new branch of chemistry.

		Pople's path to using ab initio methods to do chemical calculations passed through an intermediate stage, in the 1950s and 1960s, of using so-called semi-empirical methods.
		Pople realized early on that such semi-empirical approaches were and are very successful, but the ultimate limits on accuracy mean that they do not always produce reliable results.
		John A. Pople was born in England and remains a British citizen.
