After an introduction to MATLAB, the book provides examples of its application in both fundamental and developing areas of chemistry, from atomic orbitals, chemical kinetics and gaseous reactions, to clean coal combustion and ocean equilibria, amongst others. Complimentary scripts and datasets are provided to support experimentation and learning, with scripts outlined. Drawing on the experience of expert authors, this book is a practical guide for anyone in chemistry who is interested harnessing scripts, models and algorithms of the MATLAB.
- Provides practical examples of using the MATLAB platform to explore contemporary problems in chemistry
- Outlines the use of MATLAB Simulink to produce block diagrams for dynamic systems, such as in chemical reaction kinetics
- Heavily illustrated with supportive block-diagrams and both 2D and 3D MATLAB plots throughout
Chemistry students and researchers across academia and industry interested in computational tools for more effective examination and visualization of quantitative data
