Résumé

Mathematical skills and concepts lie at the heart of chemistry, yet they are an aspect of the subject that many 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 students' 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 guiding the student through both differentiation and integration.

The book's modular structure 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.

The first text of its type to use chemical examples throughout to demonstrate the relevance of mathematical concepts to the study of chemistry, and to help motivate the student
All key terms are clearly defined, ensuring that the student can grasp the 'language' of maths without being intimidated by unfamiliarjargon
Self-test questions throughout enable students to check their understanding as they progress through the book, making the learning process more effective
Extensive bank of end of chapter questions provide the lecturer with an invaluable resource for either formative or summative assessment
A substantial index makes navigation through the book as quick and easy as possible
