Applied Mathematics for Physical Chemistry

Applied Mathematics for Physical Chemistryis the perfect resource for students who need to refresh themselves on the algebra and calculus required to understand thermodynamics, atomic and molecular structure, spectroscopy, and statistical mechanics. Designed to supplement all textbooks of physical chemistry, this book will help today's physical chemistry students succeed in their course. This book features: Introductory chapters that deal with coordinate systems, functions and graphs, and the use of logarithms. Chapters on differential and integral calculus. A chapter of mathematical methods in the laboratory, including error analysis, propagation of errors, linear regression calculations, and preparing graphs. An introduction to differential equations. A chapter illustrating the use of Fourier series and Fourier transforms. Problems at the end of each chapter, with answers to all problems in an appendix. New to this edition: A completely revised chapter onNumerical Methods and the Use of the Computerthat illustrates how to complete calculations using Microsoft Excel .Barrante, James R. is the author of 'Applied Mathematics for Physical Chemistry', published 2003 under ISBN 9780131008458 and ISBN 0131008455.
