McQuarrie's book is aimed at physical chemists and students who want to gain a deeper understanding of the mathematical techniques used in their field. The book is suitable for:
A handy reference for mathematical methods that may have become rusty. Conclusion: An Essential Tool
Partial derivatives, the bread and butter of thermodynamics.
To this day, chemists call it the "McQuarrie approach": treating mathematics not as a hurdle, but as a language that anyone can learn if it's explained with a little empathy. physical copy
