Chemistry Maths Book 2nd Revised edition

This text teaches the mathematics required for the full range of topics that make up a university degree course in chemistry. Few assumptions are made of prior knowledge of mathematics. A feature of the book is the extensive use of examples to illustrate every important concept and method in the text. Some of these examples have also been used to demonstrate applications of mathematics in chemistry and several basic concepts in physics. Topics are organized in three sections: algebra, calculus, differential equations, and expansions in series; vectors, determinants, and matrices; and numerical analysis and statistics. Footnotes within the text offer a history of mathematics. For this second edition, material is reorganized to link chapter exercises more closely with the text and examples. There is expanded coverage of factorization, factors, and factorials, and a rewritten and enlarged section on units. For this edition, worked solutions for chapter problems can be found on a web site. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The Chemistry Maths Book provides a complete course companion suitable for students at all levels. All the most useful and important topics are covered, with numerous examples of applications in chemistry and the physical sciences. Taking a clear, straightforward approach, the book develops ideas in a logical, coherent way, allowing students progressively to build a thorough working understanding of the subject.Topics are organized into three parts: algebra, calculus, differential equations, and expansions in series; vectors, determinants and matrices; and numerical analysis and statistics. The extensive use of examples illustrates every important concept and method in the text, and are used to demonstrate applications of the mathematics in chemistry and several basic concepts in physics. The exercises at the end of each chapter, are an essential element of the development of the subject, and have been designed to give students a working understanding of the material in the text.Online Resource Centre:The Online Resource Centre features the following resources for registered adopters of the text:- Figures from the book in electronic format, ready to download- Full worked solutions to all end of chapter exercises
