Physical chemistry uses a lot of math - so much that many students get tangled up in it! Essential Math for Physical Chemistry is a basic review of the math skills most students will need to be successful in physical chemistry. Topics include differentiation, integration, logarithms, averages, coordinate systems, differential equations, operator algebra, and other topics students will face in class and in texts. This is not a math textbook; rather, it's a review of the basic skills that many students need in order to master their upper-level chemistry course.
O. d x & Laguerre polynomials are defined by Rodrigues' formula: w(x) = (x“e *) = e^* L(x). (13.141) Jo n € La (x) = of dye (x"eT"). (13.142) We require a generalization known as associated Laguerre polynomials, defined by L. (x) ...
Mathematics for Physical Chemistry, Third Edition, is the ideal text for students and physical chemists who want to sharpen their mathematics skills.

This book reminds students in junior, senior and graduate level courses in physics, chemistry and engineering of the math they may have forgotten (or learned imperfectly) which is needed to succeed in science courses.
This book explains these processes on the basis of Maxwell equations. The latter half of the volume deals with mathematical physics in terms of vectors and their transformation in a vector space.
Although this book is not computer-based, many references to current applications are included, providing the background to what goes on "behind the screen" in computer experiments.
The extensive use of examples illustrates every important concept and method in the text, and are used to demonstrate applications of the mathematics in chemistry and several basic concepts in physics.
Collects six short illustrated volumes covering topics in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, evolution, and astronomy.
