Mathematical skills and concepts lie at the heart of chemistry, yet they are the aspect of the subject that many students fear the most. Maths for Chemistry recognizes the challenges faced by many students in equipping themselves with the maths skills necessary to gain a full understanding of chemistry. Working from foundational principles, the book builds the student's confidence by leading them through the subject in a steady, progressive way from basic algebra to the mathematics of quantum chemistry. Opening with the core mathematics of algebra, logarithms and trigonometry, the book goes on to cover calculus, matrices, vectors, complex numbers, and laboratory mathematics to cover everything that a chemistry student needs. With its modular structure, the book 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.

Reviews
A very useful text to gradually guide students through both the fundamental and more advanced aspects of mathematics specifically relevant for a chemistry undergraduate degree. It is particularly useful in allowing students to test their knowledge of mathematical concepts and processes via self-test exercise and additional problems that are directly relevant to chemistry. * Dr Jon Tandy, Senior Lecturer in Physical Chemistry, London Metropolitan University *
This is an outstanding and carefully thought-out introduction to the mathematical toolkit required for students embarking on a chemistry degree programme. * Dr Robert Johnson, Lecturer, School of Chemistry, University College Dublin *
