Description

This book provides a 'chemistry-first' approach to understanding mathematical concepts in chemistry. It links abstract mathematics to recognisable chemical concepts, building on high school chemistry, to facilitate deeper understanding.

Practical mathematical skills are covered, including data representation and error handling, as well as more advanced concepts using calculus to determine kinetic rate laws and intermolecular forces. Worked examples and problem sets provide plenty of practice material to build proficiency.

Insights from real students are also included, highlighting common problem areas and providing prompts that helped them overcome these challenges. This guide is written with current students involved at every stage, making it a valuable resource for those struggling with mathematical understanding in chemistry.
