Maths for chemists (2nd edn)
Paul Yates reviews the new edition
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.
