The book was published by the MIT Press imprint University Science Books in 2008. It was originally conceived as a collection of "MathChapters" from two of McQuarrie's landmark textbooks, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach and Quantum Chemistry, Second Edition . These chapters were always intended to be quick, focused reviews that students could read before tackling the more mathematically intense sections of those larger texts.
It contains 23 short chapters , each designed to be read in a single sitting. Core Content and Topics
Reviewing for cumulative exams or needing a quick reference during research. Self-Learners:
The exercises at the end of each chapter are carefully curated to build confidence, moving from basic computational drill problems to complex derivations that mimic real research scenarios. Who Benefits Most from This Book?
: Each chapter focuses heavily on one specific mathematical tool (e.g., Fourier series, power series, or vector calculus), making it highly modular.
The book originated as a compilation of "MathChapters" originally featured in McQuarrie’s widely used textbooks, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach and Quantum Chemistry .
