Description
Based on the successful at a Glance approach, with integrated double page presentations explaining the mathematics required by undergraduate students of chemistry, set in context by detailed chemical examples, this book will be indispensable to all students of chemistry. By bringing the material together in this way the student is shown how to apply the maths and how it relates to familiar concepts in chemistry. By including problems (with answers) on each presentation, the student is encouraged to practice both the mathematical manipulations and the application to problems in chemistry. More detailed chemical problems at the end of each topic illustrate the range of chemistry to which the maths is relevant and help the student acquire sufficient confidence to apply it when necessary.

Reviews
"By including problems (with solutions) the student id encouraged to practice both the mathematical manipulations and their application to the problems in chemistry...would make a useful addition to the bookshelf of a chemistry undergraduate."
Chemistry World (Jan 2006)
"Every new idea is explained using real chemical examples...the problems and worked answers at the end of each section are excellent, and a valuable aid to both the students and lecturers."
"Students will be able to work through its content at their own pace, wihtout feeling overwhelmed by the difficult sections or patronised by the simpler ones. I would not be surprised if Chemical Calculations at a glance became the standard recommended textbook for the remedial maths classes in most UK chemistry departments."
