Overview of Mthematical Preparation for Physical Chemistry
This book serves as an excellent primer for the mathematics needed in applying and understanding in physical chemistry. While some of the material is outdated, such as the chapter on how to use a slide rule, the book reviews and explains geometry, calculus, and differential equations needed to get a full understanding of physical chemistry. Being that it is an older text, it goes more in depth about the concept and does not provide specific examples. Instead it generalizes the examples so that they can be applied and manipulated as needed. This book serves as a great companion to Lionel Raff's Physical Chemistry text. ... Read more

Product Description
The goal of this book is to search for a balance between simple and analyzable models and unsolvable models which are capable of addressing important questions on population biology. Part I focusses on single species simple models including those which have been used to predict the growth of human and animal population in the past. Single population models are, in some sense, the building blocks of more realistic models -- the subject of Part II. Their role is fundamental to the study of ecological and demographic processes including the role of population structure and spatial heterogeneity -- the subject of Part III. This book, which will include both examples and exercises, is of use to practitioners, graduate students, and scientists working in the field. ... Read more

Product Description
Mathematical chemistry is the area of research engaged in the novel applications of mathematics to chemistry; it concerns itself principally with the mathematical modelling of chemical phenomena. Mathematical chemistry has also sometimes been called computer chemistry, but should not be confused with computational chemistry. Major areas of research in mathematical chemistry include chemical graph theory, which deals with topics such as the mathematical study of isomerism and the development of topological descriptors or indices which find application in quantitative structure-property relationships; chemical aspects of group theory, which finds applications in stereochemistry and quantum chemistry; and, topological aspects of chemistry. ...

Product Description

This practical guide and reference serves as a unified source book for students and professionals, and it provides a solid basis for further studies in more specialized literature.

Based Prince’s decades of practical experience, it can be recommended as an introduction for beginners in crystallography, as a refresher and handy guide for crystallographers working on specific problems, and as a reference for others seeking a dictionary of basic mathematical and crystallographic terms.

The third edition further clarifies key points.

Product Description
Computational methods are rapidly becoming major tools of theoretical, pharmaceutical, materials, and biological chemists. Accordingly, the mathematical models and numerical analysis that underlie these methods have an increasingly important and direct role to play in the progress of many areas of chemistry. This book explores the research interface between computational chemistry and the mathematical sciences. In language that is aimed at non-specialists, it documents some prominent examples of past successful cross-fertilizations between the fields and explores the mathematical research opportunities in a broad cross-section of chemical research frontiers. It also discusses cultural differences between the two fields and makes recommendations for overcoming those differences and generally promoting this interdisciplinary work. ... Read more

Product Description
This volume contains the proceedings from the first DIMACS meeting on discrete mathematical chemistry held at Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ). The contributions reflect the presentations and spotlight the breadth of current research on the topic---from the Benzenoid Clar problem to the Wulff-shape of sphere packings. Much of the volume reflects the combined mathematical and physical interest in the new molecules, fullerenes.

This DIMACS conference highlighted the range of opportunities for fruitful and informed collaboration across the mathematics-chemistry boundaries. The interdisciplinary nature of the contributions pays testament to the fact that "real" chemistry and "real" mathematics do indeed interact. ... Read more

Product Description
Topology is becoming increasingly important in chemistry because of its rapidly growing number of applications. Here, its many uses are reviewed and the authors anticipate what future developments might bring. This work shows how significant new insights can be gained by representing molecular species as topological structures known as topographs. The text explores carbon structures, establishing how the stability of fullerene species can be accounted for and also predicting which fullerenes will be most stable. It is pointed out that molecular topology, rather than molecular geometry, characterizes molecular shape and various tools for shape characterization are described. Several of the fascinating ideas that arise from regarding topology as a unifying principle in chemical bonding theory are discussed, and in particular, the novel concept of the molecular topoid is shown to have numerous uses. The topological description of polymers is examined and the reader is gently guided through the realms o ... Read more

Product Description
This book describes the most important high-resolution NMR techniques that find use in the structure elucidation of organic molecules and the investigation of their behavior in solution.

The techniques are presented and explained using pictorial formats wherever possible, limiting the number of mathematical descriptions. The emphasis is on the more recently developed methods of solution-state NMR spectroscopy with a considerable amount of information on implementation and on the setting of critical parameters for anyone wishing to exploit these methods.

* presents a large number of examples to demonstrate the utility of the methods covered

* serves the needs of students and professionals in every chemistry laboratory

* describes the most important methods available, with guidance on execution of experiments

From a chemical viewpoint
Complexity is a topic that has been discussed in chemistry for several decades, as witness Ilya Prigogine's seminal works on this issue. For chemists wanting a good current expository text, that does not assume any prior knowledge of it, try this work by Rouvray.

There is much overlap between studying complexity and information theory. Indeed, this book has a chapter devoted to Shannon's theories. But, as befits a book for chemists, that chapter is toward the end. Instead, Rouvray talks about complexity in the context of thermodynamics. [You do remember most of your thermo books, don't you?] Then we are shown how complexity can be quantified in so-called complexity indices, for various molecules.

Then there is a discussion of how molecular complexity might be correlated to the difficulty of synthesis of such molecules. Hopefully, your chemical intuition can come into play, making complexity far more understandable. ... Read more

Product Description
Dr. Ganti has introduced Chemoton Theory to explain theorigin of life. This first volume, Theoretical Foundations ofFluid Machineries, is a discussion of the theoreticalfoundations of fluid automata. It introduces quantitative methods -cycle stoichiometry and stoichiokinetics - in order to describe fluidautomata with the methods of algebra, as well as their construction,starting from elementary chemical reactions up to the complex,program-directed, proliferating fluid automata, the chemotons. The second volume of the book is the Theory of Living Systems,the application of the theory of fluid automata on living systems. Thevolume proves, that chemotons possess the general properties of livingsystems and - at the same time - every living system has the samebasic organisation as a chemoton. Volume Two develops on the basis ofthe chemoton theory, the processes of biogenesis and of the prebioticevolution, up to the appearance of the enzymes and genes, i.e. up tothe formation of prokaryote cells. Chemoton Theory outlines the development of a theoreticalbiology, based on exact quantitative considerations and theconsequences of its application on biotechnology and on the artificialsynthesis of living systems. ...
