Maths for chemists (2nd edn)

The most obvious change from the first edition is that the two separate volumes have been combined. This would seem to be a sensible move in order to improve the ease with which students can access the material as they will no longer need to know in which volume a particular topic appears.

As might be expected, the authors cover the range of mathematics required by students at undergraduate level. This begins with a chapter on numbers and algebra and ends with statistics and error analysis. Inevitably, a number of the intervening chapters are devoted to aspects of calculus.
