JCE SymMath: Symbolic Mathematics in Chemistry

A Collection of the JCE Digital Library (JCE DLib)

JCE SymMath is a collection of Mathcad®, Mathematica®, Maple®, and MATLAB® documents designed to help students learn mathematically intensive aspects of chemistry. Built upon the foundation established by the Only@JCE Online feature "Mathcad in the Chemistry Curriculum", JCE SymMath continues to provide peer-reviewed, exemplary examples of using computer algebra systems in chemistry.

We are looking for innovative teaching materials to add to this collection.

We are also soliciting feedback from educators who are using these materials—which ones work? how are they are used in lesson plans?

Contact JCE - our editorial offices await your submissions and feedback.

Collection Curator(s), Feature Editor(s)

The collection curator of JCE SymMath: Symbolic Mathematics in Chemistry is Theresa Julia Zielinski. Alexander Grushow is the associate editor helping with the Mathematica portion of the collection. Lewis J. Kijewski is the associate editor helping with the collection of Maple documents. Other associate editors may be selected as persons well-qualified to collect and evaluate materials for other computer algebra systems (e.g., MATLAB®) or at other levels of the curriculum than physical chemistry are identified.
