Mathcad (1) is a comprehensive, inexpensive program for doing numeric and symbolic mathematics. Available for both Windows and Mac OS, Mathcad has an appealing, user-friendly, graphical interface. It has a wide variety of applications in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, but is especially useful in the mathematically intensive courses traditionally found in the physical chemistry sequence (2-5). Previous publications by the author presented applications of Mathcad in the area of quantum mechanics
(6-8). The collection of documents presented here use Mathcad to solve problems in group theory.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
