Mathematics for Chemistry and Physics integrates chemistry and physics through their common mathematical basis. The book is based on lecture notes written and tested over many years and in several countries. Mathematics for Chemistry and Physics begins by reviewing elementary calculus and follows with chapters on vector analysis and differential equations. The subsequent chapters develop the concepts further and to a higher level. It presentats group theory and its applications, approximation methods in quantum chemistry, integral transforms, and numerical methods. The book includes many references to current applications - in particular to help the reader understand what goes on "behind the screen" when performing computer experiments.
This book presents:
*a review of calculus, vector analysis and matrix algebra
*group theory in a more general form than usually taught
*a development and illustration of, among other important numerical applications, integral
*trasforms (including the FFT)
*numerous problems (with answers) at the end of each chapter
*biographical references to physical scientists and mathematicians - to remind the reader of the
*general culture
*quantitatively correct, 3-D pictures of atomic orbitals- including the f's.
Mathematics for Chemistry and Physics is an invaluable reference for students in chemistry, physics, applied mathematics and theoretical biology at all university levels.
