- Extensive use of applied examples shows how numerical and mathematical tools are used in real research, demonstrating to the student the importance of maths to their subject.
- Integrates the use of computer software to solve mathematical problems, mirroring the approaches taken by researchers.
- Dynamic style of delivery uses numerous problems (all with fully worked-through solutions) and worked examples to encourage the reader to work through and apply the mathematical tools for themselves.
- The questions in each chapter are mostly science-based, illustrating to the reader the kinds of problems that are likely to be met by a scientist, and giving the book an important real-life perspective.
- MAPLE is used throughout the text to perform computer algebra, with examples of simple calculations, and algorithms for more complicated ones.
- A MAPLE-to-Mathematica conversion table (available in the Online Resource Centre) allows flexibility of use with this alternative software package.
- Online Resource Centre features additional resources for both lecturers and students, enhancing the value of the text as a teaching and learning tool.
How do vectors help us work out the conformation of DNA or proteins? How do matrices help us tackle problems in quantum mechanics? What have differential equations to do with molecular dynamics, or the spread of disease?
The use of mathematics is one of the most powerful tools available to a chemist. Applying Maths in the Chemical and Biomolecular Sciences shows why, using an extensive array of examples to demonstrate how mathematics can be applied to probe and understand chemical and biological systems.
The use of
maths as tool in contemporary research has been enhanced through the use of computer software. Applying Maths mirrors current practice by embedding the use of software into the text, showing clearly to the student how the use of maths and the use of software now go hand-in-hand.
The application of maths has given us fresh insights into chemical and biomolecular systems, and has pushed forward the boundaries of our understanding. Applying Maths in the Chemical and Biomolecular Sciences is the perfect resource to help you master the skills required to study these systems, and broaden your own understanding.
Online Resource Centre
The Online Resource Centre features the following resources for registered adopters of the text:
- Figures from the text in electronic format, for use in lectures
- Solutions to half of the problems presented in the book (with all other solutions presented in the book itself)
- A guide tailoring the book for users of MathematicaReadership: Students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level following an intermediate or advanced course in mathematics as applied to chemistry, biochemistry, or biophysical chemistry.

"It is particularly useful for Scientists applying mathematical techniques to their analyses. However, professionals in other fields (e.g. Economics and Finance) will also find the mathematical techniques highly useful and relevant. I myself am an Economist, and found the mathematical content very good, and the scientific applications very illuminating." - reviewer on Amazon.com "Very well written and the perfect resource for self study." - The Higher Education Academy Physical Sciences Centre
