Beskrivelse
Awonderful quotation advises students to listen carefully the moment they decideto take no more mathematics courses, as they might beable to "hear the sound of closing doors."This text,written by best-selling author Donald McQuarrie, is meant to keep doors open toundergraduate and even graduate chemistry students who need a quick review ofthe mathematical methods that are used throughout chemistry. It isthe outgrowth of a collection of "MathChapters" from McQuarrie'sfamous texts, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach and Quantum ChemistrySecond Edition.These "MathChapters," now available to all, provide students withconcise reviews of mathematical topics, discussing only the minimal amount that students need to know. By reading these reviews beforethe mathematics is applied to physical chemical problems, a student will be ableto spend less time worrying about the math and more time learning the physicalchemistry. This book can also be used as a supplement with anytraditional textbook on physical or quantum chemistry.KEYFEATURES *Focuseson clear, mathematical descriptions, written by a chemist forchemists.*Includes23 short chapters, with each one designed to be read in a single sitting.*Presentsmathematical material at a practical level with an emphasis on applicationsto physical problems.*Containsexamples to illustrate the techniques being discussed.*Featuresover 600 problems, most of which have answers at the end of the book.
