<p>I was wondering if anyone here could recommend me a book text on physical chemistry. I do not mind if it uses calculus, but it must be calculus of a single variable. If that is not possible, please refer me a physical chem book without that constraint. </p>
<p>NP</p>
<p>To fully understand p chem you are going to need multi-var and linear algebra…there really is no way around it. My understanding though is that really only need simple things from calc 3 like dot-products, cross-products, double/triple integrals, a bit of other vector knowledge and partials. Maybe line integrals?</p>
<p>I haven’t taken any p-chem so I can’t say for certain. Just a math major scrub who has taken gen-chem and has bio-chem major friends.</p>
