Description
Book SynopsisThe perfect introduction to the essential mathematical concepts which all chemistry students need to master. Working from foundational principles, the book builds the student's confidence by leading them through the subject in a steady, progressive way from basic algebra to the mathematics of quantum chemistry. mathematics.
Trade ReviewA very useful text to gradually guide students through both the fundamental and more advanced aspects of mathematics specifically relevant for a chemistry undergraduate degree. It is particularly useful in allowing students to test their knowledge of mathematical concepts and processes via self-test exercise and additional problems that are directly relevant to chemistry. * Dr Jon Tandy, Senior Lecturer in Physical Chemistry, London Metropolitan University *
This is an outstanding and carefully thought-out introduction to the mathematical toolkit required for students embarking on a chemistry degree programme. * Dr Robert Johnson, Lecturer, School of Chemistry, University College Dublin *
