Mathematical Preparation for Elementary 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 While some of the material is outdated, such as the chapter on how to use a slide rule, the book reviews and explains geometry, calculus, and differential equations needed to get a full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.
