Fundamental Chemistry with Matlab

Matlab offers huge capabilities for data processing, graphical presentation and modelling, making it an important tool for chemists in navigating their increasingly data-driven field. Matlab for Chemistry highlights how this functionality can be used to explore the fundamentals and applications of key topics in chemistry. After an introduction to Matlab, the book goes on to provide examples of its application in both fundamental and developing areas of chemistry, from atomic orbitals, chemical kinetics and gaseous reactions, to clean coal combustion and ocean equilibria amongst others. Complimentary scripts and datasets are provided to support experimentation and learning, with scripts thoroughly outlined enabling the reader to modify them to fit their particular needs. Drawing on the experience of its expert authors, Matlab for Chemistry is a practical guide for all those in chemistry who are interested harnessing the scripts, models, and algorithms of the Matlab platform to further enhance their use, understanding and visualization of data. Provides practical examples of using the Matlab platform to explore contemporary problems in chemistryOutlines the use of Matlab Simulink to produce block diagrams for dynamic systems, such as in chemical reaction kineticsHeavily illustrated with supportive block-diagrams and both 2D and 3D Matlab plots throughout
