Many undergraduate students enter into chemistry courses from a wide range of backgrounds, often possessing various levels of experience with the mathematical concepts necessary for carrying out practical calculations in chemistry. Chemical Calculations: Mathematics for Chemistry, Second Edition provides a unified, student-friendly reference of mathematical concepts and techniques incorporated into the context of familiar chemical topics.
Uniquely organized by chemical-rather than mathematical-topics, this book relates each mathematical technique to the chemical concepts where it applies. The new edition features additional, revised, and updated material in every chapter. It achieves greater clarity with newly improved organization of topics and cross-referencing where mathematical techniques occur more than once. The text also contains numerous worked examples along with end-of-chapter exercises and detailed solution-giving students the opportunity to apply previously introduced techniques to chemically related problems.
An ideal course companion for chemistry courses throughout the length of a degree, the second edition of Chemical Calculations: Mathematics for Chemistry may also extend its utility as a concise and practical reference for professionals in a wide array of scientific disciplines involving chemistry.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...The volume's unique feature is the arrangement according to chemical topics rather than mathematical topics, making it an excellent resource book for chemistry. The incorporation of chemical and mathematical indexes makes it an excellent reference book for chemistry students and practitioners. Yates has provided a unified, user-friendly book with mathematical concepts and techniques useful for applications to chemistry, designed for undergraduate chemistry use as the student encounters chemical topics in the curriculum. The flow if information, therefore, moves from chemical topics encountered in lower-level chemistry courses to topics covered in upper-division and first year graduate courses. Coverage of chemical topics is excellent, and mathematical concepts and techniques are appropriate to the chemical use of chemical examples from other scientific fields provides breath for chemistry students and support for students and professionals in other disciplines. This book provides the larger scientific community as well as the chemistry profession with a wealth of resources of value in a unique format suitable for undergraduates and professionals. Summing Up: Highly Recommended."

". . . an excellent book . . . It is hard to find such a well-written text covering the difficult area of mathematics in such an easy-to-read format . . . If you have been searching for a mathematics book to recommend this should be the one."
