An introduction to the application of quantum chemical dynamics calculations to mechanistic problems in the field of terpene biosynthesis is provided. A bare bones introduction to the fundamentals of chemical dynamics is followed by a brief account of previous applications to terpene-forming carbocation reactions, a discussion of questions in this field that dynamics calculations may help answer, and a description of current problems to which dynamics calculations are being applied.
