Contrary to the impression that one might have from a traditional course in introductory calculus, well-behaved functions that cannot be integrated in closed form are not rare mathematical curiosities. Examples are the Gaussian or standard error function and the related function that gives the distribution of molecular or atomic speeds in spherical polar coordinates. The famous blackbody radiation cuiwe, which inspired Planck s quantum hypothesis, is not integrable in closed form over an arbitiar y inteiwal. 

I have used the accepted symbol 4> for flux. Obviously the evaluation of such integrals is no easy matter it is discussed in all the advanced calculus texts. 

In vector calculus, the flux 4> of an arbitrary vector field A through a surface S is given by the surface integral... 

I have assumed that the reader has no prior knowledge of concepts specific to computational chemistry, but has a working understanding of introductory quantum mechanics and elementary mathematics, especially linear algebra, vector, differential and integral calculus. The following features specific to chemistry are used in the present book without further introduction. Adequate descriptions may be found in a number of quantum chemistry textbooks (J. P. Lowe, Quantum Chemistry, Academic Press, 1993 1. N. Levine, Quantum Chemistry, Prentice Hall, 1992 P. W. Atkins, Molecular Quantum Mechanics, Oxford University Press, 1983). 

The inverse hyperbolic functions, sinh" x, etc., are related to the logarithmic functions and are particularly useful in integral calculus. These relationships may be defined for real numbers x and y as... 

Each of these sine functions represents a discrete component of the vibration signature discussed previously. The amplitudes of each discrete component and their phase angles can be determined by integral calculus when the function /(f) is known. Because the subject of integral calculus is beyond the scope of this chapter, the math required to determine these integrals are not presented. A vibration analyzer and its associated software perform this determination using FFT. 

Using calculus, it is possible to develop integrated rate equations relating reactant concentration to time. We now examine several such equations, starting with first-order reactions.

Thermodynamic derivations and applications are closely associated with changes in properties of systems. It should not be too surprising, then, that the mathematics of differential and integral calculus are essential tools in the study of this subject. The following topics summarize the important concepts and mathematical operations that we will use. 

Because an instantaneous rate is a derivative of concentration with respect to time, we can use the techniques of integral calculus to find the change in [A] as a function of time. First, we divide both sides by A and multiply through by — dt ...
