Book Description
It is now possible to enter a chemistry degree course at many UKuniversities without any formal maths training beyond age 16.Addressing this deficiency requires students to take additionalmathematics training when entering university, yet the relevance ofmaths to chemistry is often poorly appreciated by chemistrystudents. In addition, many service courses are either tooabstract, or aimed at physicists and engineers, for students ofchemistry, who are not inclined to study mathematical techniquesper se and do not make the connection between the maths theyare taught and the chemistry they want to study. Based on the successful at a Glance approach, withintegrated double page presentations explaining the mathematicsrequired by undergraduate students of chemistry, set in context bydetailed chemical examples, this book will be indispensable to allstudents of chemistry. By bringing the material together in thisway the student is shown how to apply the maths and how it relatesto familiar concepts in chemistry. By including problems (withanswers) on each presentation, the student is encouraged topractice both the mathematical manipulations and the application toproblems in chemistry. More detailed chemical problems at the endof each topic illustrate the range of chemistry to which the mathsis relevant and help the student acquire sufficient confidence toapply it when necessary.

Book Description
Natural products have been a fertile area of chemical investigation for many years, driving the development of both analytical chemistry and of new synthetic reactions and methodologies. Many of the most important synthetic reactions in chemistry have been developed in the quest to characterise and synthesise these materials. Natural Product Chemistry at a Glance provides a concise overview of the main principles and reactions of natural product chemistry, for students studying chemistry and related courses at undergraduate level. Based on the highly successful and student friendly "at a glance" approach, the material developed in this book has been chosen to reinforce the principles of elementary organic reactions and to highlight the similarity between many organic reactions and biological processes. It will also serve as an initial platform for more advanced excursions into the origin of natural products. Students using Natural Product Chemistry at a Glance will find they have a resource with which they can quickly, economically and confidently acquire, regularly review and revise the basic facts that underpin the biosynthesis and chemistry of natural products.
