Mathematical Methods for Physical and Analytical Chemistry presents mathematical and statistical methods to students of chemistry at the intermediate, post-calculus level. The content includes a review of general calculus; a review of numerical techniques often omitted from calculus courses, such as cubic splines and Newton's method; a detailed treatment of statistical methods for experimental data analysis; complex numbers; extrapolation; linear algebra; and differential equations. With numerous example problems and helpful anecdotes, this text gives chemistry students the mathematical knowledge they need to understand the analytical and physical chemistry professional literature.
David Z. Goodson , Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, has a BA in chemistry from Pomona College and a PhD in chemical physics from Harvard University. An interdisciplinary scientist, he is author of numerous articles on a wide range of topics including quantum chemistry, molecular spectroscopy, reaction rate theory, atomic physics, and applied mathematics.
