Product Description

Review
This book brings something new to the market: a student-friendly text with discussion on the use of mathematical tools in chemistry. I will be recommending it to undergraduates. (Annette Taylor, Chemistry World, June 2006 )

This is a 'must buy' book for any chemistry undergraduate who finds mathematics a challenge. In contrast to some of the other 'mathematics for scientists' books on the market, the material is presented in a manner that does not intimidate. The book is well written and each mathematical step, however small, is clearly explained. (Education in Chemistry, January 2007 )

Product Description
Mathematical skills and concepts lie at the heart of chemistry, yet they are an aspect of the subject that students fear the most. Maths for Chemistry recognizes the reality of chemical education today, and the challenges faced by many students in equipping themselves with the maths skills necessary to gain a full understanding of chemistry. Working from basic yet fundamental principles, the book builds the student's confidence by leading them through the subject in a steady, progressive way. Opening with an introduction to the 'language' of maths and essential rules of algebra, the book goes on to cover powers, indices, logs and exponential functions, graphical functions, and trigonometry, before leading the student through both differentiation and integration. With its modular structure, the book presents material in short, manageable sections to keep the content as accessible and readily digestible as possible. Maths for Chemistry is the perfect introduction to the essential mathematical concepts which all chemistry students should master. Online Resource Centre: The companion web site features: For lecturers (password-protected): · Figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture preparation · Solutions to end of chapter problems, to aid assessment

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly serviceable!, 2 Jan 2009
By Dr. Roger Peters - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Despite several typographical errors, this splendid book, whose scope broadly corresponds to that of 1960s' 'AO'-level Maths, should be considered as essential background reading for any science student who has just completed Year 12 and who plans to read chemical sciences at university.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally I know what to do with a Sigma or Delta..and I've only done a bit :), 28 Mar 2009
I bought this on an impulse in Blackwells today. I've spent an hour with it and at long last I understand what to do with a delta or a sigma. Honestly, I've spent months doing all kinds of studying but skipping over any equations with funny symbols in :). This has finally helped me begin to get to grips with basic chemistry equations that I couldn't understand before.

Worth having if your not really into the math but realise that you need some after all. It will go up to differentials etc though I've yet to get there. Clarity and brevity is the style of this book. Thanks to the authors.

*My perspective is from someone who's not done formal education since GCSE-so teaching myself.
