The aim of the mathematics tutor is to ensure you have a good grounding in some essential mathematical skills needed for studying your chemistry course. While the book Chemistry, 4th Edition assumes minimal mathematics, some area such as kinetics and thermodynamics cannot be introduced without the need for mathematical rigour. This mathematics tutor should help you consolidate or revise your skills.
Chemsoc, Chemistry Societies Network, is a well-produced, valuable resource for students of chemistry and professional chemists. Check out their interactive periodic table.
Another useful interactive periodic table that is referred to within the book is Mark Winter's Web Elements.
