Bridges abstract mathematics with chemistry, physics, and engineering problem-solving
Students in chemistry, physics, and materials science often struggle to connect abstract mathematics with real physical applications. Mathematical Foundations for Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering presents complex mathematical ideas in a student-friendly, step-by-step style, ensuring readers never lose sight of the molecule.
Across fourteen carefully structured chapters, the book progresses logically from vectors, linear vector spaces, and matrix characteristics, through group theory, Fourier and Laplace transforms, to special functions and partial differential equations.
Designed specifically to bridge the gap between pure mathematics and the physical sciences, this comprehensive text introduces mathematical problems first, followed immediately by practical applications in quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and chemical kinetics. It includes unique pedagogical features like Fact Boxes and Red Flags to guide learners.
The book offers:
- A logical progression across fourteen chapters, moving from vector spaces and matrices to partial differential equations
- Practical applications drawn directly from physical chemistry, quantum mechanics, molecular spectroscopy, and advanced chemical kinetics
- Comprehensive coverage of group theory, Fourier transforms, and Laplace transforms tailored for scientific problem-solving
- Student-friendly features including Math Textboxes, Fact Boxes, and Red Flags to prevent common mistakes
- Eleven extensive appendices containing standard character tables, transform properties, special function formulas, and vital numerical methods
Designed for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students in chemistry, physics, and materials science, this textbook also serves engineering and molecular biology majors. It equips readers with the essential analytical tools needed to confidently tackle complex problems across the physical sciences.

將抽象數學與化學、物理及工程問題解決連結起來
化學、物理與材料科學領域的學生，經常難以將抽象數學與實際的物理應用連結起來。《化學、物理與工程的數學基礎》以適合學生理解、循序漸進的方式呈現複雜的數學概念，讓讀者在學習過程中始終不忘分子層次的實際意義。
全書共十四章，經過精心編排，內容依序從向量、線性向量空間與矩陣特徵，延伸至群論、Fourier 轉換與 Laplace 轉換，最後介紹特殊函數與偏微分方程。
本書專為彌合純數學與物理科學之間的落差而設計，先介紹數學問題，隨後立即說明其在量子力學、光譜學與化學動力學中的實際應用。書中也收錄 Fact Boxes（知識重點框）與 Red Flags（錯誤警示）等獨具特色的教學設計，協助學習者掌握重點。
本書特色包括：
• 以十四章內容建立清晰的學習脈絡，從向量空間與矩陣逐步延伸至偏微分方程
• 直接取材自物理化學、量子力學、分子光譜學與進階化學動力學的實際應用
• 完整涵蓋群論、Fourier 轉換與 Laplace 轉換，並針對科學問題的解決方式加以設計
• 提供適合學生使用的 Math Textboxes（數學文字框）、Fact Boxes（知識重點框）與 Red Flags（錯誤警示），協助避免常見錯誤
• 包含十一篇內容豐富的附錄，收錄標準特徵表、轉換性質、特殊函數公式，以及重要的數值方法
本教科書適合化學、物理與材料科學領域的大學高年級及研究所學生，也適用於工程與分子生物學相關科系的學生。本書提供讀者必要的分析工具，使其能更有信心地處理物理科學領域中的複雜問題。
