Compare Mathematical Methods in Chemistry and Physics by M E Starzak, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Imposingly thick text derived from a one-semester course intended to acquaint advanced undergraduate (and beginning graduate) students with the concepts and methods of linear mathematics. Though "physics" is referred to in the title, the book is in almost every organizational and notational respect clearly the work of a chemist, and intended to serve primarily the needs of young chemists. Computer-based numerical methods are not treated, the emphasis being upon points of mathematical principle rather than upon computational technique. Eleven chapters, with exercises, essential figures, no historical or bibliographic notes.
