Synopsis

This text aims to teach the maths that chemists need to know through the use of applications, data, examples and problems all drawn from chemistry. It seeks to de-mystify the maths, and shows how, where and why it is used in chemistry. The text assumes little prior knowledge of maths and starts from basic mathematical principles, including understanding equations, notation, basic functions and their priorities. It then covers more specialized functions such as logarithms and trigonometric functions before presenting chapters on calculus. In this second edition, there is also a new chapter on vectors and matrices. The book includes fully worked examples provided within each chapter, and an increased number of problems, with answers provided at the end of the book.

Quatrième de couverture

Basic Mathematics for Chemists, Second Edition is an introductorytextbook aimed at students in the chemical sciences. Written by achemist for chemists, this textbook demystifies the mathematicsthat chemists need to know and shows how, where and why it is usedin practice. Through many examples, problems and applications, thisbook guides the reader from basic mathematical principles tocomplex numbers, vectors, determinants and matrices. The philosophyof the second edition remains the same as the first, to introducebasic concepts in the context of the chemistry in which they areused. Basic Mathematics for Chemists, Second Editionfeatures:
∗ A carefully structured text, assuming little prior knowledge ofmathematics.
∗ A clear and direct approach leading chemists through themathematics they need to know.
∗ Many examples, problems and applications relating the mathematicsto real–world chemistry.
∗ New and expanded coverage of complex numbers, vectors,determinants and matrices.
