Description
Mathematics for Physical Chemistry, Third Edition, is the ideal text for students and physical chemists who want to sharpen their mathematics skills. It can help prepare the reader for an undergraduate course, serve as a supplementary text for use during a course, or serve as a reference for graduate students and practicing chemists. The text concentrates on applications instead of theory, and, although the emphasis is on physical chemistry, it can also be useful in general chemistry courses.
The Third Edition includes new exercises in each chapter that provide practice in a technique immediately after discussion or example and encourage self-study. The first ten chapters are constructed around a sequence of mathematical topics, with a gradual progression into more advanced material. The final chapter discusses mathematical topics needed in the analysis of experimental data.

Reviews / Votes
"The text is a fairly easy read, well laid out, and laced with examples that serve to illustrate several concepts at once, thus obviating the necessity of hundreds more. The student will derive benefit from the clarity, and the professional from a concise compilation of techniques stressing application rather than theory. As such this book will be useful to a wide range of physical scientists and engineers, as well as the interested life scientist. My summary: Recommended." --John A. Wass, for SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING AND INSTRUMENTATION"The book gives an overview of mathematical techniques used in physical chemistry. Analytical as well as algebraical topics are covered in an easy accessible way, without unnecessary mathematical proofs and explanations. The book is particularly well suited as a reference book for all of the mathematical formulas and techniques that frequently arise in physical chemistry courses at universities." --zbMATH Open
