Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The Chemistry Maths Book is a comprehensive textbook of mathematics for undergraduate students of chemistry. Such students often find themselves unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with the mathematical content of their chemistry courses. Textbooks designed to overcome this problem have so far been too basic for complete undergraduate courses and have been unpopular with students. However this modern textbook provides a complete and up-to-date course companion suitable for all levels of undergraduate chemistry courses. All the most useful and important topics are covered with numerous examples of applications in chemistry and some in physics. The subject is developed in a logical and consistent way with few assumptions of prior knowledge of mathematics. This text is sure to become a widely adopted text and will be highly recommended for all chemistry courses.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review

Steiner's small volume is an excellent quick reference to any math concept from number theory to matrix algebra, with emphasis on applications to chemistry. It contains exercises at the end of each chapter and answers to these exercises in a solutions section at the end of the book. Unlike most quick references of its kind, it also contains historical footnotes that add depth to its overall educational value. It is clearly written with excellent diagrams and treats subjects, such as the section 9.17 treatment of conversion from Cartesian to polar coordinates, in more detail than the student will usually find in chemistry textbooks. All levels. P. R. Douville emeritus, Central Connecticut State University
