3 Review(s)

For undergraduate level physical chemistry courses. The textbook was written as a supplement to help students learn and apply the advanced mathematics necessary to understand physical chemistry. The first half of the book should act as a review of subject matter normally covered in prerequisite courses. The latter half of the book covers important material normally not covered in prerequisite mathematics courses, but is essential to physical chemistry study. Salient Features NEW - Chapter on numerical methods using Microsoft Excel. Students learn how to apply the features of Excel to do experimental calculation, draw graphs, etc. NEW - Approximately 70 new problems. Provides students with relevant examples. A supplement to all textbooks of physical chemistry. Can be used by any student taking any physical chemistry course. Chapters on differential and integral calculus. Help students review this material and apply it to physical chemistry. Chapter on the introduction to differential equations. Essential to understanding many physical chemistry concepts. Chapter illustrating the use of discrete Fourier transforms and their application to diffraction and spectroscopy. Teaches students how to calculate Fourier transforms using Excel. End of chapter problems-Answers given at the back of the book. Allows students to practice mathematics. New to this Edition Chapter on numerical methods using Microsoft Excel. Students learn how to apply the features of Excel to do experimental calculation, draw graphs, etc. Approximately 70 new problems. Provides students with relevant examples.
