Teaching Mathematics to Chemistry Students with Symbolic Computation
J. F. Ogilvie and M. B. Monagan
Department of Mathematics, Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6, Canada

May 2007
Vol. 84 No. 5

Abstract
We explain how the use of mathematical software improves the teaching of mathematics to, and its understanding by, students of chemistry, while greatly expanding their capabilities to solve realistic chemical problems. After an explanation of the need to improve this teaching and the opportunity with symbolic computation for this purpose, we outline the content of curriculum and its implementation, and provide examples of pertinent applications from thermodynamics and chemical kinetics.
