"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."--BOOK JACKET.
The Chemistry Maths Book is a comprehensive textbook of mathematics for undergraduate students of chemistry.
This book aims to aide in understanding of such numerical methods including solving complex differential equations and numerical differentiation & integration.
However, applying the abstract mathematics taught in schools to chemical phenomena is one of the biggest challenges that chemistry students face. In this book, we take a ‘chemistry-first’ approach.
Taylor and Maclaurin series are both powerful tools to that end. A Taylor series is a way of writing a function with an infinite sum of terms. We write a power series in which the value of x is the same in each power term.
