Research: Science and Education
A Streamlined Approach to Solving Simple and Complex Kinetic Systems Analytically
John Andraos
Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3H6, Canada

November 1999
Vol. 76 No. 11
p. 1578
Abstract
The use of Laplace transforms and integration techniques for the solution of simultaneous differential equations is demonstrated for obtaining the analytical solutions of simple and complex kinetic systems well known to students of the chemical sciences. These techniques learned in core first- and second-year mathematics courses provide a firm grounding in students' ability to understand the derivation of various rate expressions, and illustrate the value of cross-disciplinary approaches to education between the chemical and mathematical sciences.
