Teaching Mathematics to Chemistry Students with Symbolic Computation
Ogilvie, J. F.; Monagan, M. B.
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n5 p889 May 2007
The teaching of mathematics courses to chemistry students that is strongly based on symbolic computation and allows an instructor to explore a topic or principle is reviewed. The mathematical software available, nominally for symbolic computation associated with numerical and graphical capabilities are highly developed and provides an invaluable tool for both teaching and doing mathematics.
