Description: Mathematics for Physical Chemistry surveys the mathematics needed for undergraduate physical chemistry courses, addressing in particular the topics that are most often overlooked in preparatory math courses. It also provides practice in applying mathematical knowledge to the problems encountered in physical chemistry. The book is written so that it can be used for self-study by a student learning the material for the first time. The first nine chapters of the book review and address various mathematical topics. Chapter 10 is a discussion of mathematical topics needed in the analysis of experimental data, and Chapter 11 is a brief introduction to the use of computers in physical chemistry, including computer programming in the BASIC language. This text is designed to assist students in making the transition from studying mathematics to using mathematics as a tool. The book serves as an ideal supplementary text for use in physical chemistry courses, as well as a necessary reference for graduate students and practicing chemists.
