Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book is written by chemists for chemists to provide a complete guide to the mathematical theory and practice required for undergraduate courses in chemistry and biochemistry.*Carefully co-ordinated topics, supported by appropriate examples and problems at the point of need.*Provides all the maths needed by undergraduate chemists.*Clear and accessible approach to the techniques required in both elementary and more advanced study.*Answers provided for all problems.*Useful appendices contain summaries of properties of trigonometrical functions and derivatives and integrals of selected standard functions.*Each chapter is a self contained unit.

Bibliography: p. 252-253 - Includes index.
