Description
How do vectors help us work out the conformation of DNA or proteins? How do matrices help us tackle problems in quantum mechanics? What have differential equations to do with molecular dynamics, or the spread of disease? The use of mathematics is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists and biologists. 

Using an extensive array of examples, this book demonstrates how mathematics can be applied to probe and understand chemical and biological systems. The use of math as a tool in contemporary research has been enhanced through the use of computer software, showing clearly how the use of math and software now go hand-in-hand. The application of maths has given us fresh insights into chemical and biomolecular systems, and has pushed forward the boundaries of our understanding.

Maple is used throughout the text to perform computer algebra, with examples of simple calculations, and algorithms for more complicated ones. An appendix is dedicated to defining the Maple syntax used within the text, and an Online Resource Centre contains solutions as well as figures from the text in electronic format for use by lecturers.
