This interactive electronic textbook, in the form of Maple worksheets,
is released in its sixth edition, 2021 August. This book has two major
divisions, mathematics for chemistry -- the mathematics that any instructor
of a course in chemistry would wish a student thereof to understand and
to be able to implement, and mathematics of chemistry, in the sense of the
classic volumes by Margenau and Murphy -- mathematical treatments of
particular topics in chemistry from an introductory post-secondary level
to a post-graduate level. The content, which includes not only chapters
in previous editions that have been revised but also additional chapters
on quantum mechanics, molecular spectrometry and advanced chemical kinetics,
has been collected during two decades, with many contributions from other
authors, acknowledged in particular locations. Each chapter includes not
only explanatory treatments but also illuminating examples and exercises
with chemical applications where practicable.
Mathematics for Chemistry (chapters 0 to 8)
0 – introduction to Maple commands
1 – numbers, symbols and elementary functions
2 – plotting, geometry, trigonometry and functions
3 – differential calculus
4 – integral calculus
5 – multivariate calculus
6 – linear algebra
7 – differential and integral equations
8 – probability, statistics, regression and optimisation
Mathematics of chemistry (chapters 9 to 16)
9 – chemical equilibrium
10 group theory
11 graph theory
12 quantum mechanics in three parts – models, atoms and molecules
13 molecular spectrometry
14 Fourier transforms
15 advanced chemical kinetics
16 dielectric and magnetic properties
The nature of this electronic interactive textbook makes it applicable
with an instructor in a traditional setting, or computer laboratory,
for which the material of mathematics for chemistry could be
reasonably covered in three or four semesters, but even for self study.
