Introduction to Contextual Maths in Chemistry
Mathermatics is the essential tool for physical scientists. However, applying the abstract mathematics taught in schools to chemical phenomena is one of the biggest challenges that chemistry students face.In this book, we take a chemistry-first approach. We know that confidence in using mathematics early on in a chemistry degree builds a solid foundation for further study.
We cover the practical mathematical skills, including representation of data as tables and graphs, and give an overview of error handling in the physical sciences. We link the mathematics to recognisable chemical concepts, building on high school chemistry, to facilitate deeper understanding. More advanced mathematical concepts are introduced, using calculus to determine kinetic rate laws, intermolecular forces and in quantifying energetic change in thermodynamics.
We also introduce the concept of the complex
