Dr. Dave Young has written few short  essays on Chemical Topics 
at URL http://www.auburn.edu/~youngd2/topics/contents.html
The following is taken from the above URL.

  The term THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY may be defined as the mathematical
  description of chemistry. The term COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY is usually
  used when a mathematical method is sufficiently well developed that it
  can be automated for implementation on a computer.
