Many first year undergraduate chemistry students are daunted by the mathematical content of their courses. Mathematics in chemistry often presents an obstacle, preventing the student from grasping the chemical concepts and real ideas that lie behind the maths. This excellent workbook will help students to overcome this problem, which cannot be solved with a textbook. It aims to be a mathematics 'toolkit' rather than a formal mathematics course. This flexibility allows the student to study alone or in a group. The material covered is taken from examples of first year chemistry courses in approximately 6 x 3 hour sessions, providing a more comfortable and familiar way to learn. This workbook meets the needs of the student and is the best introduction to mathematics in chemistry available.
This book addresses the common barrier undergraduate chemistry students face when attempting to master the mathematical concepts required for their degree. Stephen K. Scott, an experienced academic, provides a practical toolkit designed to bridge the gap between abstract mathematical theory and its application in chemical contexts. By focusing on the specific needs of chemistry students, the author presents a structured approach that emphasizes utility and conceptual understanding over formal mathematical rigor.
What You Will Find
Educators frequently recommend this text as a foundational resource for students struggling with the quantitative demands of chemistry. The consensus among reviewers is that the book succeeds by stripping away unnecessary complexity to provide a clear, accessible entry point for undergraduates.
