I currently have Mathematica, and Polymath Edu for my math stuff, but what's an equivalent software program for Chemistry?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
What do you want the chemistry software to do? For drawing chemical compounds, ChemDraw is the standard. For other applications (analyzing NMR spectra, searching reaction databases, calculating properties of molecules, etc.), other software is needed.
 
Yeah^ The ladder. Like, is there software that can do thermodynamic equations, or other type of chemical equations?
 
Have you looked into Spartan? It's great for thermodynamic and quantum mechanical calculations.
